WHAT IS SIDESHOW / FREAKSHOW?

SIDESHOW / FREAKSHOW IS A NICHE ART FORM. MOST SIDESHOWS SHOWCASE INCREDIBLE FEATS OF PAIN TOLERANCE OR INDURENCE THAT ARE NOT MAGIC- ALL GLASS, NAILS, SCISSORS, RAZOR BLADES, MOUSE TRAPS ETC ARE REAL

​

SIDESHOW HISTORY TRACES THESE FEATS AS FAR BACK AS THOUSANDS OF YEARS- TO "FAKIR" ACTS WHERE SWORD SWALLOWERS AND BED OF NAILS ARTISTS WOULD SHOW THEIR DEVOTION TO GOD BY PERFORMING THESE STUNTS AS STREET PERFORMERS.

​

LATER, THESE ACTS BECAME INVOLVED IN CIRCUSES AND CARNIVALS AS A "10 IN 1" OR SIDESHOW, AND THUS COINED THE "SIDESHOW" NAME. PERFORMERS WERE OFTEN CALLED "FREAKS"- A NAME WE NOW USE PROUDLY IN OUR COMMUNITY.

FOR THAT REASON SIDESHOW AND FREAKSHOW ARE SOMETIMES USED INTERCHANGABLY.
