A traveling circus created by punk-rock impresario Chicken John Rinaldi in 1995 in association with Micahel Gump.
Formed largely with members of the Los Angeles and San Francisco Cacophony Society, the circus was formed on the premise of being completely without talent. No actual performers were allowed, only non-performers without any experience or desire to create professional acts. Original line up included the Amazing Jarico Reese (now of Cyclecide Bike Rodeo) the talentless magician, Speed Metal tap dance: two girls barely tap dancing to heavy metal, Dammit the Amazing Wonder Dog: Chicken John's pet dog that couldn't jump through a hoop, The Vegan Geek, Tall Pall (who's amazing skill was being tall), The Talking Mime, and many other equaly poor acts.
The Circus Redickuless toured for four years in various forms with a revolving cast of troupe members.
The 1995 tour was documented in Phillip Glau's film called "Circus Redickuless" which subequently won "Best Documentary" at the New York Underground Film Festival in 1998.
