Growing up near Coney Island and its famed circus sideshow, Professor Pandemonium delivers the real deal. This mustachioed man became so passionate about sideshows at a young age, that he taught himself many tricks of the trade. Not long after moving to Hawaii, he founded the Hawaii Sideshow Collective and now combines performance art, inventions, comedy, storytelling, history and science lectures to make audiences experience laughter, suspense and more.
Professor Pandemonium has earned much praise for his 10 in 1 Sideshow with acts including Buried Alive!, Human Ashtray, Skull Face Lift, Electric Fan Tongue, and “many more too bizarre to explain,” he says. He’s also the inventor of his signature Human Lamp trick. It’s something you’ll have to see to believe!

With a growing reputation for presenting the strange with great intrigue, Professor Pandemonium teamed up with local neo-burlesque troupe Cherry Blossom Cabaret earlier this year as a part of the troupe’s VarieTease: Carnal Carnival — Cirque du Soul. Entertaining audiences outside the main stage ringmaster style, the Prof set just the right mood for taking in all things curious and kooky.
Carrying on an American tradition that dates back to the 1800s, Professor Pandemonium’s act is undoubtedly the greatest circus sideshow in the Aloha State…it also happens to be the only circus sideshow here! Any way you slice it, he’s an ideal fit for Hallowbaloo’s zaniness and massive contingent of costumed crazies.
