Mimi Garneau: A Sword Swallower’s History of Sword Swallowing


In this episode, we take a deep dive to explore the life of sword swallower Mimi Garneau, who learned sword swallowing in 1923, and performed with Ripley’s Believe It or Not Odditoriums, with Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus, Cole Brothers Circus, Al G. Barnes Circus, and many other circuses and sideshows for over 55 years from 1923 to 1978!


Mimi Garneau’s story comes from her chapter in the book “To The Hilt: A Sword Swallower’s History of Sword Swallowing” by sword swallower Dan Meyer and sideshow historian Marc Hartzman (Schiffer Publishing), now available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Target, Walmart and more:
