In a battle of sideshow acts, only one can be crowned the weirdest in the world. And regardless of who that turns out to be, it’s the audience that will really win at tonight’s Oh No Variety Show Vs. Faded Freakshow: A Stunt Show to the Death. No matter how you like your freaks, this program will have something for you.
“There’s a lot of comedy in the Oh No Variety Show’s set. We’re more shock-oriented,” explains Slim Fadey, leader of the Faded Freakshow and self-proclaimed “modified undead cyborg torture king of Colorado.” “I learned a long time ago you can only make people want to throw up for so long before they do, so that’s why we bring sexiness, comedy and shock value to it. We take people on a roller-coaster ride throughout the night, so hopefully they don’t experience too much of any of the feelings.”
The two troupes will face off in a variety of sideshow competitions, from the grotesque to the hilarious, with a victor named for each round. It will be weird. It will be gross. And it will be a hell of a lot of fun.
The show starts tonight at 9 p.m. at at Tennyson’s Tap, 4335 West 38th Avenue; admission is $5. Find more information at facebook.com/thefadedfreakshow.
