Messer Chups and Clownvis Presley with Vlad’s Skeletal Circus at Tip Top Deluxe Bar & Grill – Grand Rapids, MI

Get your tickets to see Messer Chups and Clownvis Presley with Vlad’s Skeletal Circus in Grand Rapids, MI. Happening on Saturday, November 8, 2025 at Tip Top Deluxe Bar & Grill. Doors open at 8:00 PM.

While Messer Chups mostly instrumental sound is hard to neatly categorize, its safe to say that it would be embraced by fans of rockabilly, horror punk, vintage surf records, Italian slasher films, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Pulp Fiction, lounge music, the theremin, The Cramps, and the theme song from The Munsters. Their catchy music combines surf, vintage Russian melodies, rare film samples from the 50s and 60s, scratchy historical recordings, and lounge loops. Live, they explode with garage-punk intensity, all played against a video-collage backdrop of mid-century trashy cult and horror movie clips featuring Russ Meyer and Ed Wood, and superstars like Vampira and Bela Lugosi in a zombie mash-up. LA Weekly called him better than the real Elvis. Howard Stern called him one of the biggest acts this year in 2019. He caused a sensation on Americas Got Talent. He has been wowing audiences from coast to coast for over a decade. He is the King of Clowns, he is Clownvis! Clownvis legendary live show incorporates comedy, magic, madness and more, all held together by his powerful vocals and charming wit. Dont expect an Elvis impersonator! What you can expect is hilarious orginal songs and plenty of arbitrary hits to keep the crowd entertained. Over the years Clownvis has gone viral across social media platforms and has a large, wildly loyal fanbase. He tours regularly with bands like Insane Clown Posse and The Supersuckers , comedians like Neil Hamburger and Tim Heidecker, and headlines his own shows.
