The Brothers Grim Sideshow

 Dallas, TX

August & September 2004

In August & September we had the honor of performing with the Brothers Grim Sideshow - a true recreation of a 1920's circus sideshow. The cast was incredible featuring William Darke, Danyella Demoan, Tyler Fyre, Chuy the Mexican Wolfman, and, of course, myself and Dr. Grift. Everyone was not only gifted onstage but also a lot of fun to work with - we felt right at home. And it only got better when the owner, Ken Harck showed me the the custom banner he had had painted for my joining the show...  

The big top was set up in the Club Clearview lot in Deep Ellum, Dallas and the show ran for four days a week (Thurs-Sun). The doctor and I would spend the off days at our homes in Austin and then drive up for the show days - spending our nights at the home of our good friend Allen Falkner who graciously let us use his downstairs for crash space. The rest of the cast, assembled from around the country & world, shared a communal loft space nearby - which was often the site of late night revelry. Our time with the show literally flew by and near the end of Spetember it was time for us to move on- the show however, goes on and I am sure we will find ourselves walking its stage once again in the future.
