About this Event

Brianna Wellen, Chicago Reader:
Sideshow entertainer Thom Britton’s solo show is part performance, part demonstration. Britton is a charismatic performer who appears genuinely thrilled to share how simple his seemingly death-defying acts really are. His explanations are peppered with jokes and carnival flair, making even the dullest details memorable and entertaining. I may have retained more information about science and history during a single carnival-themed night than in all my years of schooling.
About FreakShow & Tell
Learn the science behind the sideshow.
21+ ONLY
Sideshow performer Thom Britton created a stage show to answer the barrage of questions he regularly received before, during, and after his performances.
People wanted to know how he could possibly eat fire or drive a nail into his head or why he'd want to walk on broken glass or stand on an electrified plate. Thus was born "FreakShow & Tell," an hour and fifteen-minute long stage show that fuses science, history, anatomy, physics, and a whole slew of others with genuine sideshow acts such as The Electric Man, Fire Eating and Glass Walking, amongst other things.
The show is funny, poignant, entertaining, fast-paced, and 100% science!
