Things will get freaky at O’Sheas this Friday the thirteenth as the casino’s newest show, Freaks, is unveiled.

The 70-minute production is the latest show from creator Anthony Cools.

The hypnotist currently has a show of his own over at Paris, and was the driving force behind the now-defunct topless revue, Ooh La La, also at Paris.

Cools said the show will appeal to “curious” adult audiences.

“This form of entertainment is rich in history and has a long tradition of drawing large, curious audiences,” he said. “The intimate showroom at O’Sheas is the ideal setting for onlookers to experience this type of show; they’re right there in the middle of the action.”

In addition to human shish kabobs, glass eaters, knife throwers and sword swallowers, the show will also include partial nudity, course language and “graphic stunts.” As such, viewer discretion is advised and ticket-holders must be at least 18 years old to attend.

Freaks will be performed twice a night, at 9 and 11 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday. Tickets are priced from $29.95.
