He Eats Fire.
Then Tells You Exactly How It Works.
FreakShow & Tell is an 80-minute one-man show where fire-eating, glass-walking, and 100,000 volts of electricity meet the science and comedy behind each act. Praised by the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Reader, and Variety.
But, the show isn’t just fire eating!
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.
FreakShow & Tell?
“How does that work?”
AT 16
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
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?”
THIS EVENING
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.
SEE IT FOR YOURSELF
“He’ll eat fire, walk on glass, absorb a million volts for your amusement.”
“Fire eating, glass walking and hundreds of thousands of volts of electricity collide with comedy and storytelling in this one-of-a-kind show.”
“What makes Thom very special, is that he wants to explain it all to you.”
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
Witness the mind-blowing sideshow performances at FreakShow & Tell in Chicago.
Britton is a charismatic performer who appears genuinely thrilled to share how simple his seemingly death-defying acts really are. His explanations are peppered with jokes and carnival flair, making even the dullest details memorable and entertaining.
A show unlike any other, part lecture, part story and part physics lesson, Thom Britton had everyone on the edge of their seats. The best part? Getting a lesson on how to eat fire!
Britton has traded classic sideshow glitz for a lab coat and a personable demeanor.
A completely unique sideshow act full of fire-eating, glass-walking, chainsaws, electricity and much much more!
His one-man show breaks circus acts, such as fire swallowing, down to bare bones physics.
A fast-paced and funny look at life as a fire-eater.
