The Squidling Brothers Circus Sideshow
"A death defying Stunt Show full of sick humor and amazing feats of the human body. Lead by host Jelly Boy T. Clown, the living cartoon and natural born weirdo, there is never a dull moment. Accompanied by his clown partner Betty Bloomerz "Sideshow Doll of Darkness" his brother Mattersz Squidling the Impenetrable Music Man, The Illustrated Penguin and The Baron Von Geiger: World's Strangest Strongman. Unusual Sword Swallowing, mind boggling stunts upon beds of nails and broken glass with anvils, sledge hammers and a a see-saw! Masters of "The Human Block Head" one of the oldest sideshow stunts around. Large nails, paint brushes, ice picks and power drills up the nose and out without a scratch. Extreme pierced weight lifting! Hooks in the eyes and flesh. See a man bend steel with his hands! This and much more. All real! All Live! Practiced and mastered by trained professionals.

"Imagine a smorgasbord of Cab Calloway, circus sideshow, KISS, cabaret, Hee Haw and Robert Johnson served up at Andy Kaufman's bat-mitzvah. A joyous mixture of the absurd and sublime, the six-piece ensemblegracefully blends a musical amalgam of Hokum Blues, Hillbilly Swing, Country and Hot Jazz."
Magician Michael Burke
"Funny, fast paced and always fresh, Michael Burke's stage shows are anything but your every-day magician fare. Beside being the resident magician for a variety of Steampunk Chicago's events, he has also performed at Windy City Thunderbolt games, performed at Antony Alban's "Rock Via Vaudeville" show and fund rasied events for the Arthritis and Alzheimer's Associations. Michael Burke is a magician you will absolutely not soon forget!"
