You enter a new wagon. The floor seems to be covered in dumbbells and strength hammers. A telltale sign of a strongman. Now, what exactly is a strongman? In vessels about circuses, such as cinevessels and televessels, there's always a guy in a tiger-print outfit or something like that, who has dumbbells much like these, and he basically just struts around showing off his big muscles. Your circus is different, your strongman has some similarities with that notion, but he also has some striking differences that makes him much more of a strong man than any of the other people.
The whole show starts out with him as the normal "strong man" that you'd see anywhere else. He'd go up to a car and lift it up. Pick up one of the risers. Toss really heavy stuff a few feet away. And he does this act even before the show. He'd have a "test your strength" machine set up where people can try to get really high scores, but nobody does. Then, as the show begins, he hits a perfect hammer hit. At the end of his first appearance, he goes ahead and flirts with one of the trapezers who'd be up next.
His next appearance, he goes up and straps himself to one of those medieval torture devices that pull your arms and legs in 4 separate directions. He goes ahead and survives it, and then he pulls out a bull. Now, you don't know this yet, but his skin is red, so what he does is take off his shirt and reveal a big red target, which then aggravates the taurus, which rams right into him. And he just takes it. He then ends appearance with him proposing to the trapeze lady.
Now, in between appearances, the trapeze lady is seen seducing Bozo the clown, so when the strongman makes his next appearance, he confronts his "wife" and claims that she is cheating on him with a, clown. After a lengthy, very surreal argument, the strongman reveals that he doesn't care because he is a strongman and strongmen are strong.
Light goes out, and the crowd cheers. Not only is this man physically strong, his constitution is strong as well, but also he is emotionally and socially strong. It's quite a good preformance. You'd recommend it to anyone as a much see.
