Brett Loudermilk is one of today's top sideshow performers and authority on the strange, the odd and the bizarre. He will discuss what it was like growing up in a Pentecostal Faith Healing tent show, traveling in the last carnival Ten-in-One sideshow in America, and how he became the youngest sword swallower in the world. Brett will perform select pieces from his one-man show and will answer any questions the audience may have. Not only is the event free, but as a bonus after all questions have been addressed, visitors will be shown the Egress.

Brett started his journey into the world of the strange, the odd, the macabre and the bizarre at the very early age of eight. He has quickly become a leading personality in an almost underground world. The past eleven years for Brett have been a life absorbed in variety entertainment. With encyclopedic knowledge of sideshows of yesteryear, the performers that worked them, and the venues that they inhabited, he has served as a consultant for many performers and exhibitions.
