"FreakShow Deluxe hits the stage like a raucous freight-train - full of sexy performers, stunning visuals and a sense of humor that keeps the audience enthralled. Like the voice from a bygone era, the FreakShow Deluxe comes straight out of America's mythology. It is a dark vaudevillian extravaganza that keeps spectators coming back for more."
Check THIS out!
Enjoy our "Sizzle Reel," featuring highlights from FSD performances at the 2007 Scarowinds with Rev. Tommy Gunn, Amy Amnesia, Jack Dagger, Kitty Karloff and Murrugun the Mystic! The music is the "FreakShow Deluxe Theme," written by Daniel Hoppkinz and performed by All the King's Fools, featuring Daniel Hoppkinz and Kat Bardot.
FreakShow Deluxe does not claim to be a "collection of glowing light" or "avant garde tribal culture." FreakShow Deluxe neither aspires nor pretends to be "immersed into otherworldly magic" or "marching into the stratosphere on the wings of imagination..."
FreakShow Deluxe is about the REAL. We deal in flesh and blood; in pain and pleasure; in flame and fire and sharp pointy things! We are the line between the dastardly and the divine. Through our actions, we prove the amazing and astounding - that anything is possible.

UPCOMING SHOWS
Saturday, July 18, 2009 – 12 noon – 9:00 p.m.
Chaos In the Park
Benefit Show for the Legendary Dr. Creep
Snyder Park Band Shell
1900 Snyder Rd.
Springfield, OH
http://www.myspace.com/drcreepbenefit
Free admission – donations welcome
Dr. Creep was the host of SHOCK THEATER, a horror movie show he hosted on Channel 22 in Dayton, Ohio from 1972 – 1985. Dr. Creep was very influential on FSD founder, the Rev. Tommy Gunn, and the two became friends about 10 years ago. Truthfully, FSD came together because of Dr. Creep – he was a part of the first shows FSD ever did, not to mention the first TV special, and FSD still uses Dr. Creep’s recorded voice during show introductions, and it is the intro on its FSD’s documentary (from Copp Films, available on DVD).
Recently, Dr. Creep (real name: Barry Hobart) has had some serious health issues. His professional work as a TV personality and pro wrestler, while it made him tons of fans, it was not very profitable, and he needs help raising money to pay for the treatments he needs. There are bands, vendors, and plenty more --
Your Rev. Tommy Gunn will be performing onstage throughout the day, along with other guest FSD members, between bands – so please come out. Show your support for Dr. Creep. Give what you can. Thank you.
FSD wants to keep the party going! With this in mind, we are embarking on our Sideshow Stimulus Tour!!
We are currently booking tour dates throughout the summer and fall - so stay tuned to our website for dates as they are announced!
If you have a venue in mind where you would like to see FreakShow Deluxe, or are interested in becoming a sponsor of this national tour, or even want to be part of our Street Team, please send an email through the “Booking” page with your contact information. Thanks so much!
This is only a partial listing of what's upcoming!!
