Description
side·show n. 1. A small show offered in addition to the main attraction, as at a circus. 2. A diversion or spectacle that is incidental to a larger set of circumstances or a bigger issue of concern American Sideshow is a series of stories that follows the misadventures of an unlikely band of Carnies in post 9/11 America; an era that combines aspects of Pearl Harbor, Vietnam, the Great Depression, and the kind of paranoia and government control that would make J. Edgar Hoover giggle with joy until he wet himself. If the situation wasn't complicated enough before the Carnies capered into the mix then it will be soon enough. So, Step right up and pay the man at the door! The show is about to begin, but if you hurry you can still get a good seat. Three Midgets, a Giant, and a Mime walk into a Mini-Mart...It sounds like a bad joke, but this fast paced adventure tale is totally serious; except when it's not. Join this bickering band of Carnies on their mini adventure between gigs to see what happens when moral ambiguity and ADHD meets opportunity and unchecked aggression...How can things possibly go wrong?
