What is a sideshow act?

Sideshow acts come from the travelling fairs and circuses of the past: sword swallowing, knife throwing, whip cracking, snake handling, foot archery and comedy strongman feats. They are part skill, part showmanship, and they get a big reaction from any crowd.

Every act is performed by specialists with their own safety routines, and the more dangerous elements are planned with the venue in advance. Sideshow works best as a short, staged spot or as part of a circus or vintage showman theme.

Where it works best

  • Awards nights

    A daring spot between categories.

  • Circus and showman themes

    The thrill of an old travelling fair.

  • Launches

    Daredevil skill for a bold brand.

  • Festivals

    Short shows that draw a crowd.

  • Christmas parties

    Something guests will still be talking about in January.

  • Halloween parties

    Dark, theatrical old-time acts.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Check the venue rules

    Some venues have rules about blades or live animals. We ask before confirming.

  2. 2

    Plan a safe viewing area

    Knife throwing, whips and archery need a clear zone between the act and guests. We agree it with the venue.

  3. 3

    Use a compere

    A host or ringmaster to introduce each act builds the tension and the payoff.
