… is a fun-loving, licentious, and geeky band of fire freaks who seek to entertain and amuse with wickedly creative antics. They will be thrilled to introduce you to the wonder of the Fire Arts, just ask them!
A mix of fire, vaudeville, burlesque, and sideshow; they burn bright as day with the fiery talent and blazing comedy that is the one and only HVBRIS. When it’s too hot to handle, they’re just getting started!
Who are we?
Not just a fire performance troupe, but a collection of fire performers who also excel at teaching various fire arts.
Traveling along the eastern seaboard, we have appeared from Massachusetts to Virginia, and various spots in between.
We have been teaching the fire arts at Free Spirit Gathering for more than ten years, and offer workshops and intensives along with our performances.
HVBRIS first appeared at Walk This Way’s Becky’s Fund charity fund-raiser event on October 6, 2009 in Washington, DC.
