While a number of performers have come and gone, Jeremy and Anna Kinison remain as the most significant. The next most prominent is Brent O'Connell who also occasionally performs alone as the Fiasco Sideshow.
[edit] Acts
Cut Throat (Jeremy Kinison) lifts weights with his eyelids, breathes fire, eats fire, juggles torches, and hammers a seven inch nail into his nasal cavity. He also doubles as the MC which includes smashing fluorescent light bulbs on Brent's face, breaking cinder blocks on Brent's head while Brent's face is in broken glass, and operating the angle grinder during the titanium panties stunt.
Princess Anna (Anna Kinison) suspends from hooks through her skin, passes a BB from eye to eye internally, walks and jumps barefoot in broken glass, places her genitals in broken glass, and lies on a bed of nails with only four nails.
The Fiasco (Brent O'Connell) juggles torches and machetes, walks through broken glass with an audience member on his back, allows an audience member to stand on the back of his head while his face is in broken glass, passes his body through an unstringed tennis racquet, and balances on a rola bola while juggling odd items.
