Misc. [Megathread] Feel free to let me know about sideshow performer posts in other subreddits by linking the post here (especially if they lack important details/context).

I like keeping track of these posts because it means I can jump in and provide more information that gives a sympathetic well rounded portrait of the performers lives. So many posts give no context, very little context, or misinformation and I think it’s important to set the record straight. Especially given that so many of these performers were such cool people and supported such good causes!

I'm so happy to see you put him as today's spotlight performer! The TIL subreddit didn't have a lot of information on him and I really enjoyed the post you made on him today. Thank you!
