999eyes is a new traveling show. The entry about their show has not been entered by a member of the show or anyone working for them. If anyone thinks the entry is bad, feel free to change it. But the fact remains this is a new show that should be described here. Their shows have been reported in local press or on local television stations. User:bubbatuba 21 march 2007
The "Historical timeline" section below is temporarily placed here because most of it was deleted from the article due to lack of sources. Most of it however should be fairly easy to source properly. Please leave it here until adequate cites have been found. I'll try to work on it over the weekend. Please feel free to also work on finding cites. Roger ( talk) 16:36, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Freak show. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).

One of the people I intend to add is Lavinia Warren. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gabriella nutt ( talk • contribs) 02:05, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

It seems to me that some of the sections—especially "disability"—don't have a particularly neutral tone. It pretty much looks like the writer defending freak shows to me. Amalthea Little ( talk) 12:08, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
Freak Shows were not only a European phenomenon. As Adam Kabat notes in The River Imp and the Stinky Jewel and Other Stories, the Kansei Reforms of 1787 outlawed freak shows, which had been quite popular in the years leading up to the ban. 2607:FEA8:AA03:9600:35CD:4DE9:2947:CAD0 ( talk) 07:11, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
