Mr. Gregory Blash's professional history began 5 years ago as a performer and musician with the New Orleans-based Know Nothing Family Zirkus/Zideshow. The "Zirkus" shocked and thrilled audiences across North America with daring stunts such as fire eating, straitjacket escapes, electricity manipulation, and pain-endurance displays, including Gregory's contortion atop a full-size bed of nails. After the Zirkus disbanded in 2003, Mr. Blash developed his solo act, the Five Limb Offering, which toured New York, Chicago, New Orleans, and Atlanta in late 2003 and early 2004 with much success. www.geocities.com/fivelimboffering
