Tinderbox Circus Sideshow

About

Tinderbox Circus Sideshow is a mad mix of everything icky in entertainment! From Captain Darron von Awesome's disturbing and hilarious banter, Trashique D'Lamour's alluring madness, to Luscious Peter strutting around the stage, each and every member of Tinderbox brings something a little different, something a little new, and something vile and disgusting to the table, and together they put on a show that cannot be missed!

Captain Darron von Awesome got his start in the dark foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, scaring college students with his inane stunts and freakish knowledge of circus and sideshow history, but it wasn't until a chance run in with the lovely Miss Trashique D'Lamour and the always dapper Bernard Ballyhoo that Tinderbox Circus Sideshow was born! The trio quickly began organizing and subsequently disorganizing all they knew, and soon were sharing the stage with local legends and nobodies alike! While gaining fame with their local followers, they added the incredible talent, incredible masochism, and incredible hair of Luscious Peter, and the magic that is the Tinderbox Circus Sideshow came to fruition! Now the 4 spend their time scheming, plotting, and planning to dislodge your stomach contents and leave you screaming for more with their wild collection of the greatest hits of madness, as well as their hilarious insanity never before seen on the stage! The Tinderbox Circus Sideshow is one big top you don't want to miss!
