A Review by Walt Hudson

The Olde City Sideshow performed April 5 & 6 at Sideshows by the Seashore in Coney Island N.Y.

This enthusiastic group of five young and attractive performers played to large crowds on both days.  Performances were continuous from 1P.M. until 8P.M.

Martin Ling "Suicide" King and Danny Borneo, cofounders of the troupe, performed a wild and off-beat variety of feats.  Cute Reggie Bugmuncher added sex appeal with her routines and talented Hearbreak Heather Marie provided a lively musical background on her keyboard.  The entire show was ably "talked" or MC'd by skillful Johnny Neutrino who kept the show moving and added comedy flair.

King and Borneo presented the following bits in tandem: fire, swords, power drill blockhead, fire proof tongue, glass eating, animal trap, mouse trap, straitjacket escape and a whip act.

Bugmuncher featured the sword ladder, contortion feats, insect eating, nail board and glass dancing."

While some sideshow aficionados may consider many of the feats standard fare the presentations were anything but! Each performer had his own unique and colorful personality the "sold" the act being presented.

The wonderment on the spectators' faces, their applause and positive comments proved Olde City Sideshow was and is a winner!
