 Australia’s Premier Freakshow has quite frankly left me in shock! The one-hour freak spectacular was a feast for the eyes, ears and soul. It was damn right amazing, disgusting and worrying.

 The four-person cast go through a variety of disgusting freak like acts, and just when you thought it was as vile as it could get, it got worse. They outdid themselves each time.

 At times I felt really ill watching, I had to cover my eyes but I kept watching. You know you don’t want to look, but you know that you have to!

 Space Cowboy delights in swallowing different swords, neon tubes and drills. Captain Frodo bends his body through two tennis rackets, as his dislocated body parts make some of the worlds most repulsive noises. Nailing tongues to the table, picking things up with you nipples, its all revolting!

 The spectacular ending is a fire explosion of applause, sparks and sickeningness (if that’s even a word!)

 The show takes a while to get into the sprit of it, and the Friday night, rowdy, drunken crowd certainly enjoyed themselves. It was a gasping, eye covering, and screaming delight. Yet just too extreme for my tastes.
