More Descriptionside·show n.1. A small show offered in addition to the main attraction, as at a circus.2. A diversion or spectacle that is incidental to a larger set of circumstances or a bigger issue of concernAmerican Sideshow is a series of stories that follows the misadventures of an unlikely band of Carnies in post 9/11 America, an era that combines aspects of Pearl Harbor, Vietnam, the Great Depression, and the kind of paranoia and government control that would make J. Edgar Hoover giggle with joy until he wet himself; to say the least it was a difficulttime. If the situation wasn't complicated enough before the Carnies capered into the mix then it will be soon enough. So, step right up and pay the man at the door! The show is about to begin, but if you hurry you can still get a good seat.In a world of freak shows and tax shelters Billy is a fourth generation Carney on a mission for matrimony. It's one midget, a motorcycle and a wedding you'll never forget.
