SHaq’s Fun House Meets Beacher’s Madhouse in New Orleans

BBG News

The groundbreaking theatrical show transformed live entertainment served as a precursor to three highly anticipated and strikingly distinct events taking place in New Orleans during Super Bowl LIV weekend.

In the year 2013, it appeared that NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal enjoyed himself immensely when he attended Jeff Beacher’s well-loved Beacher’s Madhouse at its inaugural New Orleans temporary location.

The legendary figure associated with the LA Lakers was captivated by the show’s innovative blend of humor, vaudeville, burlesque, and live music. It’s no surprise that Shaq felt at home among the Madhouse’s consistently high-profile roster of guests, often graced by celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, Paris and Nicky Hilton, Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, and numerous other top stars during its initial period.

Following an exceptional night of entertainment at the Madhouse’s visit to New Orleans, Shaq took the effort to personally meet Beacher, who felt greatly esteemed for having the opportunity to entertain the basketball legend.

‘I’ve always admired Shaq, so getting to meet him at my packed-to-the-brim, star-studded red carpet event in New Orleans back in 2013 was a special moment for me. It felt like magic when the Madhouse visited the Big Easy.’ And, ‘Some of my most memorable tour experiences happened when I came to the South.’

After many years had passed since he attended the pioneering Madhouse concert, the renowned athlete, Shaquille O’Neal, later created his own event, Shaq’s Fun House, which reflected Beacher’s impact significantly.

In March 2018, during Miami Music Week, O’Neal held his inaugural festival which featured energetic EDM artists such as Diplo, Steve Aoki, and A-Trak. Alongside this, there were carnival attractions and circus acts, much like the blend of fresh talent and timeless spectacle that the Madhouse is known for.

At the Fun House, the NBA star joined the festivities with Ferris wheels, jugglers, acrobats, cotton candy, and champagne, along with inviting Beacher’s top-tier friend and performer, Little Donny, to showcase his talents as well.

As my trusted assistant, Donny, informed me that Shaq had requested our services for the Fun House, I enthusiastically agreed. After all, at Beacher’s, we’re always thrilled to work with individuals who value our team’s expertise.

The unique fusion of contemporary fun and classic pastimes at Shaq’s Fun House was immediately apparent to the forward-thinking mind behind The Madhouse, who shared with DailyMail.com, “Although they’re distinctly separate occasions, the resemblances are unmistakable.

However, even though Beacher’s and Shaq’s entertainment events cater to diverse types of amusement with various flavors, the level of thrill they provide varies significantly.

Shaq’s Fun House festival is so vast that one can easily get lost in its vibrant, high-energy environment. Unlike any other place, Beacher’s Madhouse stands out due to its exclusive attendees, ranging from renowned celebrities to influential global figures.

When it was time for Beacher’s Madhouse to embark on its journey once more in 2025, the beloved entertainer of Tinseltown recognized his desire to revisit those original beginnings.

He commented that returning Beacher’s to New Orleans simply felt right,” he stated. “That city holds a significant place in my heart, it’s where we ignited Shaquille O’Neal’s incredible festival and where we have the opportunity to surpass ourselves with grander endeavors than ever before.

Over the weekend, both Shaq and Beacher will separately hold events in New Orleans as they each launch the festivities for Super Bowl LIX.

During the upcoming musical festival-carnival hybrid, scheduled at the unique Mardi Gras World venue in New Orleans on February 7th, Shaq’s Funhouse is expected to attract massive audiences.

At this expansive entertainment venue, you’ll find live music shows by John Summit, Ludacris, and DJ Diesel (Shaquille O’Neal), plus giant amusement park rides, numerous games, and circus artists moving about the site, ready for interaction.

On the very same evening, you’ll witness an unforgettable stand-up comedy act by none other than the RoastMaster General, Jeff Ross.

Last year, Ross was seen roasting a Planters Peanut in a particularly funny Super Bowl ad. This time around, he’ll be aiming for a different challenge: attempting to down Beacher’s towering 22-foot-tall Fat Tuesday daiquiri, a world record-breaking drink that will be crowned with generous servings of Cardi B’s irresistible vodka-infused Whipshots whipped cream.

The enthusiasm for the arrival of Ross and Beacher was so high that Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry officially designated February 7 as “Jeff Ross Day” and February 8 as “Jeff Beacher Day.

On the following night, Republic NOLA will play host to an intimate event, organized by Beacher’s Madhouse, on Saturday, February 8th. This ultra-exclusive pop-up experience promises a fusion of world-famous comedy and vaudeville, with a New Orleans twist, combining the unpredictable spirit of the Madhouse with a dash of Bourbon Street’s enchantment for VIP guests.

Between two sensational happenings captivating the town, pleasure-lovers are presented with an array of choices: endless enchantment in the nightlife scene, a blend of timeless opulence and modern elegance, or a delightful combination of both.

It’s advisable for fans to purchase tickets for Shaq’s Super Bowl LIX weekend Fun House from the event’s official website promptly, as there’s a high chance it will sell out. Delaying could result in missing this anticipated event.
