Berlow's Freak Show

FREAKS UNITE AGAINST CENSORSHIP!

March 19th, 2009 by Joshua

The Great Orbax and Sweet Pepper Klopek’s traveling show ‘Monsters of Schlock’ is being banned by the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission.

The liquor commissioner points out this law:

1.41.1. Entertainment that has the potential to be considered bizarre, grotesque or offensive must be referred to the Board for approval before being provided. This includes entertainment involving live animals, excluding magical acts.

This show has performed across Canada to thousands of viewers. It is performed by professionals, performed for people between the ages of 8 and 80.

The issues that the liquor board had with the show were three stunts.

1) The human blockhead, a stunt which involves inserting a steel nail into the sinus cavity of the performer.

2) The breaking of a cinder block on the human body.

3) A magic trick in the show involves a playing card being staple-gunned to a stunt performer.

In Alberta if you are an adult and have purchased a ticket to see a professional magic stunt show with viewer discretion advised, the liquor board will decide whether or not you should be allowed to see it!
