Pretty Girls, Wrestling, Amazing Circus Stunts and a FIST FIGHT

Redemption. Wrestlers. This time it’s for real.

 
The Jim Rose Circus

vs.

Jake the Snake Roberts

Featuring SINn BohDi formerly Kizarney of WWE + special guests coming to a Club near you starting this July

Ladies and Gents it is time once again for the infamous and wildly celebrated, our favorite ringleader, Jim Rose to take his delightful and dark yet comedic, mysteriously twisted show on the road. Jim Rose presents The Jim Rose Circus vs Iconic Wrestling legend, Jake the 
Snake Roberts. From out of the ring and into the clubs, this is the hottest mind bending thrill ride your money can buy this summer. A ticket is good for a seat, but you will only use the edge.  High-flying, bone-jarring excitement--not since Christians were fed to the 
lions has their been a show this funny. It feels like biblical times with miracles happening everywhere. You will need a swivel on your neck to catch it all. Done in a seedy atmosphere just like the movie The Wrestler.
 

 

Have you ever felt stunned laughter?  Besides amazing circus stunts and pretty girls everywhere, this is the most brutal comedy ever offered. These are the real men who don't need a ring. Their 
disputes will be settled live and raw on stage...using every dirty trick in the books. The intimacy of this epic battle will make you feel like you're living it.

 

 

This is a new  spellbound episode for the The Jim Rose Circus. This is not what you saw in the episode of the Simpsons where Homer runs away and joins the Jim Rose Circus as the human cannonball. And you didn't see anything this like this on Jims weekly Television Show, The Jim Rose Twisted Tour on the Travel Channel, nor on the X-Files in 1995, the much lauded  guest star role as the lead murder suspect in what was to become one of the most popular episodes. Indeed, this is not what you witnessed when Jim Rose was on tour with NIN and opening act Marilyn Manson in 1994 presenting some of the most raunchiest acts for its time. Unlike those, this show's content is a compelling one,  the theme is redemption... This is Jake The Snake Roberts living out his tragedy once and for all. Painfully misunderstood and abused within by his torment, torn apart by being loved not hated. He was supposed to be the bad guy against Hulk Hogan in the 80s but he sold his character too well and  his charisma continued to woo his fans. When he walked into the arena to cheers Hulk would get boos. The promoters invested so much into marketing Hulk as the good guy that they had to discontinue Jake the Snake while he was selling out Madison Square Garden time after time. 

He took it hard and had a rough patch. These tough times were exposed in the documentary "Beyond The Mat," the writer for the movie The Wrestler says that this documentary is what inspired him to write the script.

 

Now it's time to get ready to be engrossed for the next chapter brought to you live with your ringleader Jim Rose at the helm. Yes it’s a soap opera comedy but that’s what wrestling is. Everyone 
familiar with Jake knows this is a show about redemption, And this show is about his hard fought comeback.
 

 

Jim Rose will lead and mislead his rapt audience once again on a journey rife with misunderstood, mysterious and idiotic achievements as he plays The Villain. He’ll explore and sometimes expose the difference between man and monster. The sixty-minute plus performance is infused with Rose’s wicked wit, stunning feats and unexpected asides. He delights the audience with his own tongue-in-cheek charismatic style. Now be forwarned, this is not his first time showcasing wrestlers. In  1997 - 1998 Jim put together a new show that featured Women Sumo Wrestling, Power Tools, Mexican Transvestite Wrestling, and a retrospect of his classic stunts. This show landed Jim in a Lubbock Texas jail, and banned him in New Zealand for a couple of weeks until the authorities relented.

 

Despite these set backs, it was one of his best selling shows ever. This new coupling of rock and roll and theatre will dwarf any show he has ever done.

 

A showman in the classic Barnum style, he’s obsessed with the best and the strangest and with providing genuine entertainment.

His delivery is brutally comic. He plays the highly-strung audience like a violin.
