the Modern-Day Elephant Man Ken
"Peg-O the Leg-O" lives with a
genetic condition known as Neurofibro-matosis,
or NF for short. He lives with little lumps
and bumps all over his body, from the tip of his head to the
tops of his toes. Pegleg's story is an inspirational
triumph over adversity. Born in 1895, inflicted
with the genetic disorder NF to the point
of having one leg removed, Pegleg traveled
the freakshow circuit. He stayed on until 1935 when scientists,
whose goal it was to kill the freakshow for social control,
stole him from the midway to experiment on and study him to
prove that his condition was that of a sick human and not
of a Fabulous Freak... because funding for the project was
cut they decided to freeze him until more funds could be obtained.
The funding never came and Poor Pegleg was forgotten... Until one day a kindly showoman snuck into the basement of a medical anomalies laboratory. Her initial goal was to obtain a two-headed baby for her show, but it was there that she then discovered the man frozen. After defrosting Pegleg she set out to help him in his mission of revenge on the scientists who are still trying to destroy the freakshow Museum ov Mutantstrosities by institutionalizing, exploiting and abusing freaks for medical answers and experimentation... Peg-O the Leg-O is “Eye-Live”, living and breathing, on stage in our show and on the inside of the 999 EYES Museum ov Mutantstrosities, or at the door taking tickets.
