Barbara (Can be played by a Male or Female)
The Bearded Lady
Since plunging big feet first into puberty, Barbara has had a beard. Not just some stubble, mind, but a full-fledged beard. Barbara joined the circus only a few months ago, and has never been happier as part of The Sideshow. There's nothing like finally being able to accept your bearded self. Barbara is slightly deaf and leans in often to catch what everyone is saying.

Bob
The Side-Show Barker
No one understands why Reginald hired Bob this season as the "Outside Talker," the one to entice the crowds into buying tickets for "The Psycho Circus" Sideshow acts. He gets so nervous speaking before a crowd, he can hardly get through a sentence...

Claire Voyante
The Fortune Teller
Dare to enter Madame Voyante's junk-filled Sideshow wagon and you'll discover she's the real thing. A gypsy. Fortune telling isn't her only talent. For a small price, she can make contact with "the other side," and speak to your dearly and not so dearly departed. She was not surprised to learn Reginald had been eaten by a lion; she'd seen "Death" in her Tarot cards...

Harriette
The Horse Woman
Harriette is Reginald the Ringmaster's wife. A spirited horsewoman and show-girl, she agreed to marry the domineering ringmaster only a few months ago. As quick as a whip, she is, however, obsessed with order and tidiness. She is an obsessive-compulsive, constantly tidying herself up and everything and everyone around her.

Ima Target
The Knife Target
Ima Target, Ivan A. Target's wife and assistant, is far from being as sharp as the knives her husband throws at her. Bombshell beautiful, she handles everything in her own stride--very, very slowly.

|
Ivan A. Target
The Knife Thrower
Ivan is the act all the women flocking to the circus have come to see. He's handsome, daring, speaks with an exotic foreign accent and is so very, very married to Ima Target, his assistant.

Leo
The Lion Tamer
Leo has been a fixture of "The Psycho Circus" for many years. His fans adore him for the way he calms the savage beasts and quickens the audience's hearts with the sounds and scents of the jungle in the circus's center ring. His best act is the lion act. With a crack of the whip, the lions perform amazing stunts before the audience's very eyes, meowing and purring like kittens.

Mack M. Laffe
The Clown
Mack is the one who gets the kick in the pants, the pie in the face and the chair pulled out from under him in every show. He's a clown. Loved by fans for his jokes and his juggling skills, he's been with "The Psycho Circus" in the center ring of the Big Top for years. But behind the painted smile, Mack is actually a very sad and serious man.

Reginald
The Ring Master
Reginald the Ringmaster was the boss of the "The Psycho Circus." He was cruel and obsessed with controlling everything and everyone around him. Pity he didn't have much control over the lion who ate him...

Samson
The Strong Man
Samson is a gentle giant. Just because he's strong, everyone thinks he is either dangerous or dumb. He is neither. He is a well-read, well-balanced man who just happens to be extremely strong. He performs in the Sideshow tent. He's been with the show since it's opening years ago.

Serpentine
The Snake Charmer
Serpentine is a spiritual person. She speaks to snakes. And they speak back to her. She has never once been bitten in all the years she's been handling snakes. "It's a gift," she says, inherited from her mother, and her mother before her. She speaks softly, hypnotically. She's been displaying her gift in "The Psycho Circus" Sideshow tent for a few years.

Tommy Twist
The Contortionist
Tommy is the quintessential gentleman. He is one of the favorite of the sideshow acts and comes out personally before each show to meet the crowd, looking everyone over very carefully. Everyone, including his wife Tuppence, adores him for his polite manners and natural style. But there is something sinister in his all-too-perfect breeding...

Tuppence Twist
Trapeze Artist
Tuppence flies through the air with the greatest of ease. She's well known for her high-flying, high-wire acts and really draws in the crowds to "The Psycho Circus" Big Top. She's utterly fearless. She's married to Tommy Twist, the celebrated contortionist.
