The official monikers 'circus in hell', 'gigantic freak show' and 'bizarre, kinky entertainment' accurately describe this annual festival of the grotesque. Returning to Differ Ariake in September, Sadistic Circus has been attracting fetishists since 2002, evolving into quite a spectacle over the years. The 2015 edition will see international guests in the form of American sideshow Squidling Brothers and British 'aerial dancer' Empress Stah join homegrown talent from maso-troupe Gokiburi Konbinat to the dead-but-fashionable Grudge Girls Collection. Ticket information in English is listed on the official website (scroll down).
