The Circus of Horrors Reviewed:
It promises horror and shock factor beyond your average circus. It promises 'The Wasp Boy' and 'Vampires hanging from their hair'. It failed to deliver on any of these things.
Dr Haze the circus master tried to pass himself off as a Frankenfurter type character but came off as a farmer wearing leathers with a fake American accent. Nobody wants to hear you sing or see you strut your stuff mate so don't, even if the sound quality were good enough to hear the lyrics...We all got the gyst...Cliche and nasty.
Shocking moments were Mr Stretch getting...stretched...predictable but everyone likes freaks. A dwarf puts his dick in a vacuum cleaner...This isn't shocking it's just unpleasant...There is a difference..One can be amusing the other is just a gross spectacle.
The clowns wandering through the audience (a RiffRaf type character and for some reason a mechanic with Billy Bob teeth) weren't funny or amusing...They just seemed like surly tramps..More embarrasing for them than anyone else.
Magic tricks included Dr Haze being put in a box and then having swords pushed through the sides...but it was hard to miss the large black steps to the box being pushed off the stage before this happened....How big and hollow looking do steps have to be?
Maybe years of seeking out shocks and ghoulish interests has left me impervious but for a 'Circus of Horrors' I'd have expected a few stomach churning moments or ghasps...There were none and it made for uncomfortable watching only due to being so embarrasingly tame.

I'm getting quite nervous about tomorrow night. I've just spent 17 of my english money on fucking pom-poms thought which has vexed me just a little bit. HE - the boy I adore, will be at the Hub too so maybe he'll fall in love with me during the course of 'Hey Mickey'.....
Do you do post colonial studies? I'm meant to be there in an hour and I'm not going (again.) I have far more important things to be doing, like drinking coffee and smoking minty fags and practising my dance routine!!!
