I remember going to the fair as a kid and I always wanted to see the side show acts but they cost extra, and of course my parents were smart enough to know those were all scams. The 2-headed cows and snake-ladies were all fakes that weren’t even being done well anymore, just another cash grab for gullible people.
But in the past 30 years or so a true side-show culture has blossomed. And the #1 genuine side show that I know of is the Hellzapoppin’ Circus Sideshow. These are real performers and real people doing real side-show stuff. They are a rock-n-roll circus sideshow with performers doing contortion acts, juggling, glass walking/eating, fire-breathing, magic and illusions, sword swallowing, and much more.
Named after the most successful Broadway Show and movie of the1930′s and 40′s the Hellzapoppin’ Circus Sideshow is a fun time for the alternatively curious in all of us. They just announced a Florida tour that starts April 1st at The Abbey in Orlando with dates in Melbourne, Ft. Myers, West Palm, Tampa, Gainesville, Tallahassee, Destin, Pensacola, and Jacksonville. Find the show nearest to you in their Facebook post below.
