Meet the freaks of Riley’s Odditorium: George/Georgina, a hermaphrodite; Countess Marketa, an armless bearded lady; Tiny, the world's fattest man; Millie and Lillie, the Siamese twins and Serena the mermaid. This travelling freak show is nearing the end of the road, with fewer and fewer people buying tickets to the show.
