Inspired by the Coney Island Sideshow, The Sideshow Stream is playful, irreverent and sometimes shocking. I entertain my audience with tarot readings, sideshow stunts, weird foods and craft beers, and games of course.It's not just about keeping sideshow culture alive; I'm building a community rooted in finding the courage to be unapologetically who you are and recognize the power in your differences.
