an encyclopedia & museum of novelty & variety performers & showfolk: sideshow, freakshow, vaudeville, medicine show, circus, grindshow, carnival, dime museum, girlshow, etc. From the arms of Barnum's Fiji Mermaid to the feats of daredevils and freaks, we aim to chronicle them all: Their histories, mysteries, biographies, myths and legends. Skimming the cream from the sawdust, And mud from the applesauce, we aim to shoot the balderdash from the eyes of the beholder. Come in and gawk, and cut up jackpots if you got 'em.......
