Reminiscent of Jim Crow’s Circus Sideshow, the “must see act” at Lollapalooza 1, Hellzapoppin is a modern-day version of a circus freak show featuring live stunts:  fire eating and fire breathing, magic and illusions, glass walking, the human blockhead, knife throwing, sword swallowing, and other human oddities.   During this thrilling extravaganza, the artists showcase the world of circus performance with stunts beyond belief and display characteristics of a malicious crew that will keep you at the edge of your seat. 

Bryce Graves, AKA Govna, wears a traditional blood-red Ring Master’s coat and has tattoos rich with sideshow images.  Govna is a sinister southern revivalist preacher, and when his voice cracks over the loudspeaker, it’s gritty and hints at a Texas drawl. But, instead, it’s a hot knife through butter, earned by years of smoke, drink, glass eating, and fire breathing.

Short E. Dangerously, who is 3′ 3″ and has hands where his feet should be, is the emcee, a sideshow stuntman, and magnetic, slick-talking half-man.   Short E. Dangerously, aka Shorty, will blow your mind and steal your wife.
