A backstage pass from the Grotesk Burlesk tour
  • Manson would often wear a hat with ears similar to that of Mickey Mouse. He also donned black face.
  • Manson played saxophone at the end of "The Golden Age of Grotesque".
  • During performances of "The Dope Show", Manson would wear elongated arms, which he would swing in a marching manner as he walked. They were designed by Rudy Coby.
  • A robotic mannequin was used for performances of "Tourniquet".
  • During performances of "Para-noir", two women accompanied Manson in singing while dressed as if they were conjoined.
  • The stage would be set up in a series of platforms. The stage was set to resemble that of vaudeville, burlesque stage and a 1930's stage.
