Hellzapoppin Sideshow w/ Zamora The Torture King
HELLZAPOPPIN Sideshow Revue featuring Zamora The Torture King combines the style of the classic era side shows with modern day edginess and finesse and features the best performers and attractions from the best shows from around the world! This thrill packed stunt show features genuine human oddities, sword swallowing, the human block head, fire eating, bed of nails, the blade box, western bullwhip demonstrations, contortionists, and electrical death defying stunts. All presented by Master of Ceremonies Bryce “The Govna” Graves.
When the show was in Portland recently Exotic Magazine wrote ”…The Hellzapoppers… are truly dedicated traveling circus pirates committed to the idea maintaining an appreciation of artistic expression, creativity and a free-spirited attitude toward a serious business.” http://www.xmag.com/archives/17-12-jun10/images/features/feature1/feature1-page1.jpg
Hellzapoppin features some of the sexiest girls in sideshow or any other kind of show business. Chelsea NoPants will amaze and shock you with her amazing abilities to swallow just about anything including a pool stick (for reals). Viola Lala Mia will do a burlesque act with another girl that will give the expression “bump and grind” a whole new meaning. Plus there are guest performers at every show.
Hellzapoppin stars modern sideshow legend Zamora the Torture King. Zamora has spent years perfecting his chosen craft. Through his knowledge of martial arts techniques, hypnosis, Middle-Eastern teachings, science and anatomy, he is able to overcome dangerous situations - fire eating, body skewering, electrocution, and more - to emerge unscathed and unharmed … and all in the name of entertainment.
Zamora has been featured on television shows such as Guinness World Records Primetime, Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, National Geographic's Taboo, and 48 Hours, among others. He has appeared many times on The Learning Channel and The Discovery Channel.
Zamora got his start in Seattle almost 20 years ago were he was part of the original Jim Rose Circus Sideshow , the first ever merger of sideshow and rock that was a hit on the 1992 Lollapalooza Festival.
He now headlines Hellzapoppin Sideshow Revue. The show is a massive hit with audiences around the world. Hellzapoppin Sideshow has toured on the largest rock festivals in the US and Europe, including Pedal to the Metal with Mudvayne, Static X, Black Label Society, OZZFest (2 years in a row), The Family Values Tour with KORN and The Deftones, The Vans Warped Tour, Metal Town and West Coast Riot festivals in Sweden with Marlilyn Manson and Slipknot.
Hellzapoppin is true popular entertainment, thrilling the most jaded rock festival attendee while at the same time touching a chord in the hearts of circus & music fans, historians, and art enthusiasts everywhere. These stunts are performed by mere mortals who use their specialized knowledge and training to strive for the heavens in an effort to inspire others. One mistake could send them back to Hell! Do not try these stunts at home!

WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING ABOUT HELLZAPOPPIN SIDESHOW REVUE:
“With last week’s appearance by the Hellzapoppin Circus Sideshow, the Wormhole Bar had its best-ever night – it was standing-room-only to see Zamora the Torture King, Lady Diabla, Penguin Boy and the rest of the self-described “human oddities” to their freaky stuff onstage.”
--- Connect Savannah 01-19-2010
“With the likes of Waits and Iron Maiden and Barnum as inspirations, Hellzapoppin’ Sideshow Revue is like a merging of two classes of performance traditions which thrive out of the norm and out of the mainstream and the show’s philosophy stays true to form: from rolling through the U.S. in a giant red radio flyer with its menagerie of ‘oddballs’ and ‘strange people’ to eating exclusively at mom and pop places while on the road.”
--- Pasadena Citizen 01-18-2010
“Focusing on a younger demographic, 14-40, Bryce “The Govna” Graves combines rock’n’roll with a creepy vaudeville sideshow. He promises real and dangerous entertainment from talented and unique performers.”
--- The Cabell Standard 02-22-2010
“The performers embrace their freakishness. They get a thrill shocking crowds with their outrageous antics. Besides, it beats working some boring 9-to-5 desk job.
“They live to perform and enjoy when the audience goes wild. Crowds scream. They cheer. They gasp. Some cover their faces.”
--- Dallas Morning News 12-12-2009
“Hellzapoppin isn't your typical club show. Graves promises a wild spectacle, mixing music with incredible feats and strange human oddities.”
--- The Charleston Gazette (West Virginia) 2-24-2010
“This is not the sideshow of our great grandparents' generation. While the spirit and love for the history of their trade is strong, this bunch of ruffians rivals the excesses of the hardest rocker and intensity of the most malicious devil walking the streets today”
