THE LIZARDMAN (aka Erik Sprague) appeared at ELINOR RIGBY’S PUB in El Paso, Texas, on
September 26th. He makes his living as a freak and sideshow performer—besides performing
in his own Rock band, LIZARD SKYNYRD, who released an album in late 2010.
As The Lizardman, he has toured with THE JIM ROSE CIRCUS and hosted the JÃGERMEISTER
MUSIC TOUR, with bands including DISTURBED, SLAYER and SLIPKNOT.
He performs before audiences all around the world and makes numerous paid television and public
appearances--where regularly performs many classic sideshow acts such as The Human Blockhead,
Fire Eating and Breathing, Gavage, Sword Swallowing, Bed of Nails, The Human Dartboard and The
Insectivore. He also participates in many public and private Flesh Hook Suspension groups and
events, and is highly involved in the Body Modification community.
