True Talent Never Burns.
Eric Broomfield a man who laughs at pain
He guided me into the mysterious world
of the legendary Coney Island Freak Show.
That project became one of the best times of my New York life.
One night, the man who mastered fire
found himself trapped inside.
Smoke. Flames. No exit.
He hid in the bathtub and survived,
but spent five weeks in a coma.
He came back – scarred, but alive.
And rebuilt himself,
returned to the stage,
found success again
and even met the love of his life on the Island
Some fires come to burn fear
and melt you into the person you were meant to be.
