We have compiled information on the fearless and infamous performers that grace the bright stages and dark corners of the Voodoo SideShow.

So, without further ado, here they be.



Franz Galiga

Franz "The Flame" Galiga

Franz began his illustrious stage career at the age of 19. Four years of his life were spent touring North America with the widely acclaimed Doris Tuttle Stage Review. As his fame grew, so came the lure of illegal substances. Soon, Franz' lapses were no longer tolerable. Both Doris and the show's producers decided to drug and ditch Franz in an opium den while appearing in Boise, Idaho. After 8 months Franz was finally able to free himself of his addictions (well, he really just ran out of cash). He then spent a few years aimlessly wandering throughout western Canada in search of Doris Tuttle. Franz joined the SideShow in 1953.



Stinky Pixies

The Stinky Pixies

The Stinky Pixies are one of the most popular acts at the Voodoo SideShow. A strong aroma may be their most recognizable trait, but its the delicate footwork of these immense beauties that sets the pace when the SideShow starts rolling.



Carlos Rivera

Carlos "The Clown" Riviera

Every circus-type of establishment needs a funloving, happy clown to brighten spirits. Unfortunately, we only have Carlos. Carlos is a very bitter soul. Repeatedly bitten by chihuahuas as a youth, Carlos' entertains by producing balloon animals from real animals. In his masterful hands, a small dog can be manipulated into just about any shape imaginable. The next time you meet, bring a breath mint and ask to see the Tibetan Daunk Ox.



Tiny Tim and Rex

Tiny Tim and Rex

We're always pleased to present the durable duo of Tiny Tim and Rex. In an effort to confuse, Tiny Tim is the gentleman of standard stature, and Rex is the vertically challenged individual. The crux of the performance consists of an incredible display of dexterity, as Tiny Tim places Rex in various household appliances and luggage. The audience is encouraged to bring suitcases and handbags of varying sizes.



Oscar

Oscar "The Pretzel" Torrelli

Mr. Torrelli comes to us from the United Kingdom (wink, wink).



Drowsy Dale Proctor

Drowsy Dale Proctor

Dale can sleep on anything, at any time. This former boiler tender is always happy to grant the request of a young admirer. He has been known to nap on broken glass, burning embers, poisonous snakes, elevators, his ex-wife Violet, and of course, a bed of nails. Courtney McKee of Havalok, Kentucky calls Dale, "Mindnumbing."



Petite Paulette

Petite Paulette

Paulette has always astonished audiences in Europe. Her miniscule frame would dance as effortlessly across saloon bars as it would on stage at the Ritz. On her first visit to the Voodoo SideShow, tragedy struck. She was stretching and warming up on a table near the stage. She wore a white body suit which dramatically enhanced her blazing red hair. While readying the theatre for that evenings show, one of our employees mistook her for an abandoned cigarette, tossed her to the floor, and snuffed out poor Paulette.
