This list is dedicated to the history of circus and carnival sideshows from their inception to the present. Some, but not all of the topics discussed are sideshow freaks [born or made], carnivals, carnival games, rides, girlie-shows, oddities, body art [tats, piercings, and the like], banner art, psychic acts, gaffs, magic, cola-drinking anteaters, ventriloquism, circus trivia, performing acts, and anything else having to do with the circuses/sideshows arts. This is a [mostly] friendly and fun group....ALL messages are moderated, so we don't get any junk posts. This helps protects the integrity of the Forum by discouraging spammers, trolls, board flooders and other miscreants. ;-)...feel free to promote your shows, gigs, websites, ebay items, etc...just don't overdo it!
