Alive On the Inside was conceived in the summer of 2006, when Lenore von Angel [1] was inspired by stories of sideshow freaks that appeared in the pages of Weird New Jersey.
The idea to create a resource of information on circus and sideshow history was born, and in the months that followed, the articles were penned, edited and complied. The project also included notable Philadelphia sideshow performer Barry Silver [2] who became co-editor and greatly contributed to making the idea into reality.
The purpose of Alive On the Inside is to not only preserve the history and tradition of circus and sideshow for future generations, but also to make the public aware of the fact that it still remains in an era where the internet can deliver whatever one desires with the simple click of a mouse. However, all the images and videos on a screen do not compare to a live performance. For many entertainers, these shows are how they make their living. If people are not willing to support them, then they (as well as circus and sideshow as a whole) are in danger of becoming extinct.
Nickel Empire Media is proud to publish and distribute this fanzine [twice a year] to everyone world wide.
