A majority of the clips you'll find here are from "The Sideshow" a fabulous variety show on ABC-TV Australia whose last episode aired on December 1, 2007. Every week under the small screen Big Top, the golden-throated, acid-tongued Ring Master was joined by Tripod, the Umbilical Brothers, Claire Hooper, Flacco, & the hot house band sounds of the Bearded Ladies. Plus the best in stand-up, rock 'n' roll, cabaret, burlesque, freakshow & death-defying variety, often involving sharp objects & fire, sometimes invisible animals & stainless steel underwear. Occasionally all in the same act.

As far as copyrighted material, Courtney Gibson, head of arts, entertainment and comedy at ABC-TV is all for their content being shared..actually it's a great way to get people to know about this show! She says "[The ABC wishes] to get our content out there on as many platforms as possible, run by as many different operators as possible." (This quote was taken from an article posted on Tech.Blorge.com dated April 15, 2007)

Enjoy the clips, watch the show if you can and check out all the acts on their own websites.
