Bringing Sideshow to the Mainstream

Hey everyone, it’s Jelly Boy the Clown here.

Just wanted to say, I didn’t make it through to the next round of America’s Got Talent tonight, but I’ve still got a big smile on my face! Felt good to celebrate the effects of sideshow and the underground on the mainstream for a few minutes, not to mention the feeling of getting a standing ovation from Simon Cowell, who needed to be won over to the ways of the clown.

All in all, competing on AGT was a much better experience than I had expected. Some people are just meant to be entertaining and take the hit in a show like AGT. I wanted to reach a wider audience for sideshow and my alter-ego, and I feel I absolutely crushed that. And believe it or not, I even made it onto Fox News (!!) New opportunity is already springing up because of my two AGT appearances and the tons of media attention that came out of them.

If you haven’t seen it yet, do check out my act in the Quarterfinals, in which I perform an unspeakable act on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. At the time I’m writing this (September 29, 2024) more than 64,000 people have watched the performance on YouTube, not to mention the tens of millions who watched AGT live.

Also don’t miss my recently published autobiography is available to buy right here on the Squidling Brothers website.

Thank you to everyone who was rooting for me and to the production team at AGT. I’m happy to fly back to Iceland tomorrow to be with my family! It’s all love.
