Scott McClelland

Scott McClelland brings 41 years of experience as a producer of extravagant and exciting shows. In 1979 McClelland produced an old time vaudeville act entitled ‘Prof. Crookshank’s Traveling Medicine Show.’ In 1992 McClelland unleashed ‘Carnival Diablo.’ Originally an attraction in Calgary Alberta that housed over 90 sideshow and vaudeville artifacts and live shows nightly. It has now become a touring company drawing large crowds. McClelland’s grandfather owned Canada’s largest traveling sideshow from 1920 thru 1968. He was brought up around his grandfather’s carnival and shows and was personally taught the secrets of the trade. For nearly a quarter century, McClelland has been the only professional sideshow trainer in Canada, training 42 performers to date. In 1997 he produced a live show based on supernatural activity called ‘The Paranormal Show,’ which still plays some of the finest theaters across Canada. Carnival Diablo and The Paranormal Show have been showcased on The Discovery Channel, TLC, National Geographic, Much Music, A&E and CBC.

In 2001, McClelland created a large traveling museum called ‘Carnival Diablo’s World of Wonders.’ In 2004 he created another attraction called 'Anastasia The Living Mermaid' and in 2005 unveiled 'The Missing Link Attraction.’ 2017 saw ‘Carnival Diablo: The Strangest Show Unearthed!,’ a big top circus sideshow that still tours from spring through fall. McClelland has just unveiled his newest venture: ‘The Diablo Manor an Evening of Enchantment’ and has opened up his home as a private experience complete with a tour of all of his artifacts, a Victorian three course meal and a 75-minute performance of some of his favorite acts.
