If you do not see it, you will not know. This classic carny (carnival) bark is so true when proclaimed about the Blue Monkey
Sideshow. Incorporated in Indianapolis in 1998 (yes they are a real entity), this group has performed from Alabama to
Alaska, New York to Las Vegas and hundreds of stops in between. Their travels include 15 years at the Indiana State Fair,
three years at the Rolling Rock Towne Fair and twice opening for the Insane Clown Posse: at the first Gathering of the
Juggalos and Hollow Wicked. Over two decades , tens of thousands at colleges, universities, racetracks, rock concerts, private
parties, nightclubs,, corporate events, sport celebrations, Amazon family day, the Snodgrass sheet metal safety breakfast and
historic reenactments have witnessed the feats of this unique performance group. These are the guys who opened Die,Circus,
Die in the hollow, plaster shedding cavern that was to become the Fountain. Square Theatre. &bnsp;They accidentally created a
PETA protest the with their “Cat out of a Cannon” act on the Circle. They enlivened early Jazz Fest patrons, performing on
a wagon without brakes. The mayor spoke from their stage on the Canal and Dick Wolfsie has devoted a page in his book to
them.
Why? Because when you witness the Blue Monkey Sideshow, you undergo a transformation that only the carnival bark can bring you.
They have explored the carnival life, it's dangers and small rewards, so you don't have to. And through their trials
you realize life is more important , possible and joyful with a wink than ever before.
If you do not see it, you will not know.
Special opening and intermission act: Indy Tribal, belly dance troupe under the direction of Jeana Jorgensen.
Preshow teaser with Skanky T. Barker sharing songs and tales of the sideshow at 6:40.

a pitch for the "Sledge-O-Matic," a large wooden mallet that he uses to smash a variety of food items and other objects,
