TOURS
After Lollapalooza, in 1993 Jim Rose headlined seven world tours and released a self-titled video on Rick Rubin's American Recordings that quickly became a cult classic.
In 1994 The Jim Rose Circus was chosen to tour with Nine Inch Nails and a then-unknown Marilyn Manson, and later with KoRn and Godsmack. 1998 saw another world tour featuring women sumo wrestling,mexican transvestite wrestling and chain saw football.The show landed Rose and troupe in Lubbock Texas Jail and later banned from New Zealand. Both of those issues were settled 4 months later."That was one of my highest grossing shows"Rose claimed.It reportedly netted over 4 million dollars.
Jim Rose was also the top ticket of the Melbourne (Australia), New Zealand and Edinburgh (Scotland) Fringe and Comedy Festivals.
In 2009 Jim Rose joined with professional wrestler Jake "The Snake" Roberts for The Legends Collide Tour, a forty city campaign heralded as "Jake Roberts conquering his troubled past" amidst " pretty girls, wrestling, amazing circus stunts... and a fist fight"......................................................................................................MORE QUOTES.
