Charles Griffin: A Sword Swallower’s History of Sword Swallowing


In this episode, we take a deep dive to explore the life of sideshow manager and sword swallower Charles E Griffin, who was not only a sideshow manager but also sword swallower with Bob Hunting’s Circus, Ringling Brothers Circus, and Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show during four years in Europe, who performed from 1886 to 1917.


Charles Griffin’s story comes from his 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:
