VAUDEVILLAINS takes place in an alternative universe in the year 1999—top hats and tailcoats are still all the rage, yet Pelican airships soar the skies, ladies in bouffant dresses and rocketshoes race home to attend telecinema performances, all while staying in touch by morsing back-and-forth on their pocket radiophones.

The story follows two orphaned runaways: a naive but well-intentioned boy named Iver, born bat-eared and bald; and Harvey, a ginger-haired guttersnipe whose arrogance belies deep sensitivity and insecurity.

Mistakenly believing themselves to be hardened criminal masterminds, the pair try their hand at grifting unsuspecting revellers at the spring fair before spending the last of their money at the circus. Seeing an opportunity to fleece the scattered circus strong man, the destiny of our two antiheroes soon becomes inextricably linked to the man they initially sought to take advantage of.
