FreakShow & Tell?
At 16 years old, I began seeing sideshow acts and started performing in a circus. I learned various skills and performed about 12 times a day, 7 days a week. It was a wonderful and exhausting practice.
In my early 20s, I decided to continue my education. I went to college and earned an Applied Sciences degree. This training is nothing special, but it feeds my love of science and makes me ask, "How does that work?"
The acts I have chosen for you this evening are the creme de la creme, the very best and most interesting experiments I've had the pleasure of learning and performing.
One of the world's most unique fire eaters. Thom Britton blends stand-up comedy, storytelling and danger into an act that is 10,000 years old and brand new - at the same time.
But, the show isn't just fire eating!
Over 100,000 volts of electricity, nails, chainsaws and broken glass are playthings for Thom Britton in FreakShow & Tell.

Magic VS Science
18 and over only - adult language and concepts. Not for children.
Jacob Mayfield is a mind reader. Thom Britton (FreakShow & Tell) is a science nerd! They have joined forces and combined shows for an evening’s event.
6pm Doors Open at the Theater.
Come on in, pick your seat in the theater and grab some snacks!
7pm SHOWTIME!
The show starts with FreakShow & Tell, A scientific look at: Fire Eating, Tesla Coils and Glass Walking. Thom Britton (FreakShow & Tell) explains the science behind some of the most amazing feats ever witnessed.
Then Jacob will join Thom onstage to demonstrate a place where science and mind reading overlap! A little combo-trick to bridge the gap.
Now Jacob Mayfield takes over - reading your mind, predicting the future and showing you the potential of the human mind only dreamt of in sci-fi.
And then… a FINALE! Another combo-trick to finish the show with both Thom and Jacob performing together on stage. New material AND classics from both performers in ONE SHOW!
8:30pm Show’s over.. almost.
Join us in the lobby for a little Q&A and a free gift for you from both of the performers! Have some more snacks - we won’t judge you.
9pm Go home!
Get out of here with souvenirs and memories you will never forget.
