Still trying to find out what a "barker" is... I have a couple at home, they only work when someone knocks on the door, and need to be put in their kennels lest they pee all over the house.

Go to Sideshow World and look around.
One of the last living 10-in-one performers. I wanted to be in show business the worst way, and that was it.

I must admit I thought that side show people didn't like the term barker.

If you go to Sideshow World, you'll see me! Strange, considering about 95% of "sideshow" performers aren't really sideshow at all. A more accurate (and respectful) title is "variety act" performer.... especially if your act has never seen a tent or midway.

In that case I can't call myself variety act ...... I have no variety...... Some say I have no act either......

Most buskers and variety acts now list circus and or sideshow in their
publicity, but when asked to do a season on a tenting show they have no inclination to the life. They are in effect sight acts or specialty acts, misrepresenting themselves and never will be what I know as circus or sideshow. There is a distinction as has been discussed here previously. |
