The Circus Of Horrors – ‘The Ventriloquist’

The combination of hard rock, shock magic, acrobats and freak performers is not a new concept (Iron Maiden and especially Alice Cooper have done it for years). Nevertheless the troupe, led/MC’d by Dr Haze, do it really well! The show was an attack on the senses; loud music, spectacular stunts, alluring ladies, freakish… well… er… freaks and a flashing midget thrown in for good measure. Above all this was pure theatre, an old-fashioned variety show but taken to the very extreme. Don’t bring the kids, this circus is for us adults only and I’ve certainly seen enough midget genitalia to last me a lifetime!
