1. See a sideshow. You don't have to trek to the boardwalk to see a sideshow. Tonight performer Donny Vomit of the Coney Island Circus Sideshow performs a wide array of "strange, odd, weird and bizarre" acts at Branded Saloon. His specialty is the Human Blockhead, where he drives Six Inches of solid steel into the center of his skull (and lives). 603 Vanderbilt Avenue at Bergen. 9 p.m.
2. Enjoy some godly dancing. For the next three days, BAM will play host to The Royal Ballet of Cambodia, which at one time only performed for "the gods." Movements in Apsara Mera have been constructed by Her Royal Highness Princess Norodom Buppha Devi, a former prima ballerina, joining two traditional stories of Khmer culture: “Churning of the Sea of Milk” and “The Legend of Kambu and Mera.” $16-20 at Howard Gilman Opera House.
