Miss Heather Holiday is a sideshow veteran. This sideshow sweetheart is known for her sword swallowing, fire eating/breathing, glass eating, and whip cracking. She also likes to lie down on beds of nails.

Go-Go Amy is the founder, creator, booker, and promoter of the PTP. She is also a well-renowned and well-rounded burlesque dancer and pin-up girl.
Lil Miss Firefly may be only 27 inches tall, but she has a big list of credits as an actress and burlesque dancer.
