Description
From displays of the human form--both beautiful and grotesque--to tricks of illusion, and wonders from the far-off world, the sideshow has captivated audiences since its popularity arose in the Victorian Era, as a side attraction to circuses, fairgrounds, and exhibition halls. Learn true stories behind some of the most fascinating acts in both sideshow history and modern times, from the Fiji mermaid to Short E. Dangerously.
