Carnival Diablo offers up ultimate sideshow

Carnival Diablo: The Ultimate Sideshow is an outrageous sideshow extravaganza steeped in the Victorian mysticism of the 19th century.

It features amazing human marvels that defy the laws of science, serving up a world of adrenaline driven excitement, including stunts such as glass walking, razor blade swallowing, the human dartboard, impaling, lying on a bed of nails, the electric chair, and more.

Emerged from the great carnival and circus sideshows of Europe, Carnival Diablo formed over 20 years ago. Scott McClelland, grandson of the legendary Prof. N.P. Lewchuk, follows in the grand tradition in the starring role.

As Nikolai Diablo, he brings with him a burning hunger for the freakish and the uncanny. He delights in bringing to the stage the most unusual human marvels on the planet.

The show takes place at Collège Boréal starting at 8 p.m Dec. 6. Tickets are available www.foreveryoungshows.com, at The Twisted Doll or at Boréal's AGEE office.

The event was originally supposed to happen Oct. 30, but had to be rescheduled.

Current ticket holders will have their tickets honoured for the Dec. 6 performance, or if refunds are required, phone 705-918-2601 to arrange a refund.
