The Great Mr. Swindle's Traveling Peculiarium and Drink-Ory Garden will return to Palm Beach County for its 2026 tour, with performances in Boca Raton from February 12 to 22 and in Jupiter from February 26 to March 22. The ninety-minute show, led by the mischievous Mr. B.S. Swindler, promises astonishing feats, eccentric comedy, and a cast of peculiar characters.
This year, the Peculiarium will feature a brand-new custom boutique Big Top dressed in elegant grey-and-cream stripes with burgundy trim, complete with cushioned seating. The tent is fully climate-controlled with air-conditioning and heat. Attendees can arrive early to explore Dr. Elixir's Drink-Ory Garden, which opens an hour before showtime and offers creative cocktails, brews, and bites.
Co-producer Ivan España noted that the show is entering its ninth year since debuting in 2018. "We're thrilled to welcome both first-time guests and our loyal returning visitors," he said. "Our mission is to craft a fresh, unforgettable experience each year."
The 2026 cast includes all-new acrobatic acts and comedy, along with the return of the audience-favorite banana act performed by the comedic duo Jonathan Taylor and Anne Goldmann of Daredevil Chicken. Dr. Elixir will be portrayed by Frank Ferrante, a masterful emcee known for his quick-witted improvisation.
Since its debut, the Peculiarium has raised more than $150,000 for local organizations. Tickets start at $55, with discounts for guests 65 and up. Tickets and showtimes are available at www.MrSwindles.com. For group sales, call 941-445-7309. Guests must be 18 or older to attend.
