Well worth seeing if you're in the area. I got to drop in for the first time a week ago last Saturday. A perfect Calif. day at the beach! Great shows, and it was grand to see the Sideshow still cranking for the tourists. Lots of street activity, busking, entertainment and the usual strange folks at the beach.

Thanks, Guys....it was a good show and I'll recommend it to anyone who visits.

I just bought a Two-Headed Goat.......one of it's heads is normal size, but has NO EYES....NO NOSE.....and NO MOUTH.....ONLY EARS!!!!!!!! SUPER ODD!!! Pancho and Lefty the Two-Headed Bearded Dragon have doubled in size and are doing GREAT!!! They are a True Living Miracle......I thought I had seen it all, but they amaze me every day. We're beginning to organize our summer line-up so if anyone has special talents or knows of someone who does, let me know. We are also looking for bally girls in the area, if you know anyone with great tattoos and a great personality, have them contact me.

Will the pinata have two heads, and look sorta like them?

You guys just continue to crank out the most amazing things and people in the world. This is a dying field, and the VBF one is one of the best of them left. Or ever.

The Venice Beach boardwalk itself is a Freakshow of historical import...and having the Venice Beach Freakshow anchored there is a treasure. In town visiting the Castle? Be sure to take in this show too. Love it. I don't know how they have the stamina to go all day, let alone every day. Too cool to miss.

Pancho and Lefty's party was a BLAST!!! We locked down the boardwalk and everyone sang them Happy Birthday The Mariachi band ROCKED!!! The kids fought over the candy from the 6 ft. long pinata....one kid got most of the candy by catching it in his t-shirt. Brett swallowed 4 Swords at once in honor of this Big occasion!! When he pulled them out, he brought up a giant gob of goop from his stomach and I almost puked It was a great time!!!

We had a Most Honorable Guest visit The Freakshow this weekend.....The AMAZING RANDI!!!!!! I gave him a personal tour inside and He Loved It. It was Wonderful to see the expression on his face when he saw the Living Two-Headed Animals!!! As I was showing him Pancho and Lefty The Two-Headed Bearded Dragon, I said, "Isn't that Amazing?" and he said, "NO....I'm Amazing, That's ASTONISHING!!!!" For me, it was Priceless!!!! I have always been a fan. He enjoyed the entire show including all the live performers. Brett, along with the whole gang, gave him a Great Show on stage Here is what he had to say about The Freakshow on his fan page.....

"Enjoyed a unique visit and personal tour of the Venice Beach Freak Show. The proprietor Todd Ray has done a great job of keeping this traditional form of entertainment alive and well in California. I was edified to learn that this fascinating art will still attract large enthusiastic crowds. Come see it if you can -- and say hello for me." James Randi

That was worth the whole day for me.
