Our Gelato Flavors & Characters

All of our characters are honoring actual side show performers, both current and of the past, as well as what are known as “working acts.” 


Many  of  the  great  performers  were "Human Oddities" or "Anatomical Wonders" as "Freaks" was used only by the public and was considered crass and insulting. They entered  into  “showbiz”  due  to  the  alternatives being  nonexistent  or  even  dire.  However, in  the  sideshow  they  found  family,  love,  a  sense  of community  and  were almost always payed  more  than  the  regular working  acts  due  to  their  uniqueness.      


We wish to honor those who shared their gifts with the world by choice, and who made careers as sideshow performers. We hope to honor their creativity, courage and generosity of spirit with our flavors as well as tell their stories to, hopefully, inspire others and promote the idea that being different is cool. 


And now! Here are the main attractions on the big stage!
