October 17, 2022We hired Tinderbox Circus Sideshow for a private event and holy wow were they incredible! Their performances and showmanship was top notch - wildly entertaining. Everyone loved them. On top of their quality content, they were super communicative and professional. I will absolutely hire them back next time around.

October 17, 2022The duo was incredibly professional and experienced in their craft, but was also beyond fun and entertaining. They knew what they were doing and had incredible showmanship. Would book them again in a heartbeat!

With over a decade of stage, tour, and performance experience, we have a knack for adapting to all situations.
Born & bred in the wilds of eastern Kentucky, the Tinderbox Circus Sideshow is a mix of vaudeville debauchery, classic carnival sideshow, & circus tradition.
An all-American classic circus sideshow, combining timeless acts of shock and amazement with a punk rock presentation, and a dirty south attitude. The result is a uniquely modern experience; unlike anything else in today's entertainment industry!
Tinderbox Circus Sideshow is one of the last remaining traveling "ten-in-ones" in the country. Our show consists of a variety of working acts, girlie shows (or burlesque), and classic carnival appeal. Our acts range from the classic circus side tent including The Human Blockhead, The Human Pincushions, the Bed of Nails, Clowning, & Fire Eating...to more daredevil stunts the likes of Balancing on Wine Glasses, Eating Glass, Body Piercing Weight Lifting, & our personal favorite...BREAKING THINGS ON THINGS!
They're the one-stop-shop for all things icky in entertainment! Between Captain Darron's miraculous nose, dangerous juggling, and a high threshold for pain, whimsically white trash fantastic award-winning performer Trashique's alluring ears, deadly figure, and nonstop sing-song energy...they never fail to astound, arouse, and disgust audiences across the nation! The duo spends their time scheming, plotting, and planning to dislodge your stomach contents and leave you screaming for more!
We prefer a stage, but can go without. As far as sound, we can provide a Fender Passport sound system that looks a bit janky but gets the job done - or you can provide a sound system for us to utilize. We can perform indoors or outdoors with the proper accommodations. Just ask us for more details!
