*'''Bebe the Circus Queen''' (Beatrice Aschard) would perform a variety of stunts such as having a watermelon placed on her back and split with a sword, lying on a bed of nails while weights were placed on her chest... or the "Plastic Bag Of Death", where she gets into a large plastic bag and one of the other performers sucks all of the air out with a vacuum cleaner.

*'''Matt "The Tube" Crowley''', whose moniker came from the seven feet of tubing that he would swallow. The other end of the tube was attached to a crude hand pump. Bailey himself would fill the pump with a variety of fluids and proceed to pump it into Crowley's stomach, then back out again. Audience members were invited onstage to drink the vile concoction after it had been extricated from Crowley. He would also provide a demonstration of sheer lung power by blowing up a hot water bottle with his mouth until it burst.

*'''Zamora the Torture King''' (Tim Cridland) had a segment that featured him walking barefoot up and down a ladder of razor sharp sabers, piercing himself with long needles and meat skewers, eating pieces of a broken light bulb (he would hold a microphone near his mouth so the audience would hear the sound), and touching an electrical generator while holding a fluorescent light bulb that would glow. In 1994, The Torture King left the *Circus to create his own show. The Torture King Show toured the US and Canada many times. He currently lives and performs in Las Vegas.

*'''Rupert''' (Ryan Stock), known as the "Lobster Man", was billed as a man of alien birth. His hands are split between the middle and ring fingers to the wrist, with the remaining fingers fused together. His legs are malformed, causing the knee joint to move as a ball and socket joint rather than a typical hinge joint. After the incident in Lubbock, it was later found that he was surgically created in this way at birth by one of Boris Bailey's surgeons.
