Lady Patricia: A Sword Swallower’s History of Sword Swallowing


In this episode, we take a deep dive to explore the life of sword swallower Lady Patricia Zerm, who worked as a sword swallower for 37 years from 1939 to 1976 under the stage names “Miss Patricia” and “Lady Patricia” with Ringling Brothers Circus, Royal American Shows, Ward Hall’s World of Wonders, and many other shows, including being the sword swallower featured in Cecil B. DeMille’s 1952 film “Greatest Show on Earth”.


Lady Patricia’s story comes from her chapter in the book “To The Hilt: A Sword Swallower’s History of Sword Swallowing” by sword swallower Dan Meyer and sideshow historian Marc Hartzman (Schiffer Publishing), now available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Target, Walmart and more:
