Currently, Climate Theatre is headed by Joegh Bullock as Artistic Director, Christopher Roesing as Development Director, and Laird Archer as Consigliere. Performers include John Gilkey (Cirque Du Soleil), Monique Jenkinson/Fauxnique, and Paul Nathan (Dark Kabaret). Since then, it has blossomed as a central hub for cutting-edge festivals, theatre, circus arts, hip-hop performance, clowning, music, and new emergent art forms. As theatre critic Rob Avila puts it, “So much sprang from the Climate’s operation in the 1980s and ’90s that the outfit was soon labeled ‘the biggest little theater in San Francisco.'”įounded by impressarios Marsha Crosby & Joegh Bullock in 1985, the helm was taken over in 2007 by Artistic Director Jessica Heidt (Magic Theatre). Home over the past 30 years to a who’s who of Bay Area performance, the theatre was the force behind a number of artistic movements, including the now legendary Solo Mio performance festival, Festival Fantochio modern puppetry festival, and the Glass Haus events (which rapidly became the Studio 54 of the dot com era’s boom & bust). This tiny organization has been responsible for some surprisingly large cultural ripples- including Craigslist, which began as an interactive mailing list for the venue, and being the first Fiscal Sponsor for Burning Man. Termed, “a vital scene and vibrant avenue for some of the most dynamic and promising crossover and experimental work around,” by the SF Bay Guardian.

Ten years later, Dark Kabaret has become one of the big social events of the year in San Francisco. Performers came out of the woodwork jumping at the opportunity to do a show on a nice stage in a beautiful venue for their families. When I mentioned this to some of my fellow performers they all voiced the same issue. Most of my work at that time was for TV, Films, corporations and private parties.

The show started when my parents were coming to visit and they had never seen me on stage. You can see my GF dancing in Northbeach, my friend Shanan was the spokesmodel for TIVO at the time, you can see her dancing in front of the Old Vic houses, and the guy in bunny suit is my old roommate Scott.ĭark Kabaret is an elegant show with top burlesque and variety performers from all over the world. When they got here to San Francisco we spent a day running around the city shooting some of my favorite spots with some of my best friends. Most of the editing was done on the plane between shoots. They shot during the day and flew to the next city each night. Three days later they were on a plane and spent the next two weeks in a dozen countries on a round the world trip. My friends at MOI met with the record company and pitched the idea of a music video that spanned the globe. The song and the video were number one on the European music chards for the better part of a year. The video is by my good friends at the Ministry of Information (MOI) in Berlin. I've been in a few MTV music videos but this was by far the most successful.

Everyone loved the melding of magic, music, stories, and adventure. In 2010 we took our magic theater show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it was a big success with audiences and chritics alike. We did pretty well with the critics and with audiences. The host is playing scared but he loved the chance to do something exciting for the camera.ĭevil in the Deck is a theater show that I produced here in San Francisco a few years ago. They kept calling me "The most dangerous magician in the world" but I think that was mostly to scare the host of the show. Here is a fun video that CBS Evening Magazine did a few years ago.

Here are a few videos of Paul performing at parties and events around the world.
