Growing up in the legendary Coney Island section of Brooklyn was where Adam Rinn developed a love for the sideshow. Watching the skilled fire eaters, sword swallowers and human blockheads perform their dangerous feats was enough for Adam to declare “I’ve got to learn this.” And learn he did. Shortly after graduating from Coney Island USA’s Sideshow School, Adam has become one of the premier sideshow acts in New York City and beyond.
With a perfect blend of Borscht Belt humor, a playful rapport with his audience and a knack for the bizarre, Adam has crafted his own ‘One Man Coney Island Circus Sideshow’ which highlights these amazing skills in a forty five minute show.
Over the past nine years, Adam has had the privilege of performing for audiences ranging from corporate clients and charity events in venues such as country clubs and ballrooms to night club goers and party revelers at some of New York’s more notable comedy clubs and rock and roll shows. He has been commissioned to take his one man show as far as Oklahoma, Georgia and North Carolina.
It is the electrifying acts and unusual feats which Adam performs that sets him apart from his contemporaries; the magicians, illusionists and variety entertainers, for with Adam, what you see is what you get. There is no trickery involved. Knowledge of the human body and what it is capable of accomplishing is what motivates Adam and delights his audiences. He explains in full detail the path in which a swallowed sword takes on its way down to his stomach, as some spectators cringe. Yet all are riveted by this death defying act and most importantly, laugh. It is the masterful blend of humor and tension that is so appealing. After all, it’s about entertaining.
And entertain he does, whether it’s bending steel with his bare hands, ripping a phonebook in half or hammering a spike into the center of his face, those watching will no doubt cheer him on with verve, gleefully anticipating the successful completion of the act.
Adam’s large muscular physique is paired well with his large personality, making him a dynamic presence while on stage whether he’s performing in a room of 50 or 500 people.
So risk temptation, and spend the eve with Adam!
