Radio is the Theater of the Mind!
Bloody Brains in a JukeBox is a rock opera, with a libretto by Dick D. Zigun, music by Nikos Brisco, and direction by Circus Amok’s Ethyl Eichelberger Award-winning Jennifer Miller. In this sung-through and psychedelic sci-fi satire, characters resembling Sidney Poitier, Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Coogan, and Jayne Mansfield tussle with a talking, flying, brain-eating Wurlitzer Model 1100 jukebox – with results as mind-blowing and out there as anything you’ve ever seen at the sideshow.

“My Sideshow Mammas”.
Sideshow historian and publisher of “Shocked and Amazed – On & Off the Midway” James Taylor waxes poetic on the sideshow “freaks” (a tit;e both women wore proudly in the show biz), the women who were “Mom” to him: Jeanie Tomaini, billed in her day as “The World’s Only Living Half Girl,” and Pecilla Bejano, the famous “Monkey Girl.”

‘Extreme Stunt Master’ – That is what Harley Newman has been called. After 40 years performing stunts and sideshow acts all over the world he talks about his work, beginnings and what it takes to do what it is that he does.
The interview is an in-depth look at an individual who performs world-class stunts and discusses them and their impact on the culture we live in and about the difference he sees between himself and others who would like to do what he does. Describing the heritage of his sword and then swallowing it for the camera.
Intelligent and funny as well.

For the first time ever Legendary Sideshow Impresario Ward Hall publicly discussed his 70 years on the carnival lot as a gay man. In a live interview with Circus Amok director Jennifer Miller, Ward he told the stories of his life and the many gender queer performers he’s worked with over the years. Both he and Miller performed excerpts of their sideshow acts.
