Carol Ewwers Bio

Carol Ewwers is the First Lady of “Eww-Wah,” a reluctant resident of CarnieVille who spends more time gagging than giggling. Dragged to the midway by her grandmother—who insists on daily trips to Shanny Sweets’ Snack Shack—Carol can’t take three steps without wrinkling her nose. She mutters “Eww-Wah!” at the sticky popcorn, the muddy sawdust, the clowns with runny makeup, and the very smell of the Big Top itself. Ironically, her disgust has made her an attraction of her own; audiences howl at her constant complaints, treating her reactions like a sideshow performance. In a place built on spectacle, Carol proves that even misery can be entertaining.

Offstage, Carol sulks at the edges of the carnival, clutching napkins like armor and refusing to touch anything with her bare hands. She swears the Ferris wheel is rusty, the cotton candy is unsanitary, and that Presidenté Ip is “the grossest thing she’s ever seen.” Performers tease her relentlessly, sneaking bugs into her seat or offering her “samples” from Shanny’s sticky stash, just to hear her wail “Eww-Wah!” Gramma adores her, of course, insisting that CarnieVille is “good for her character.” Carol disagrees—loudly—but there’s no escaping when Gramma’s sweet tooth drags her back through the gates.

What makes Carol Ewwers essential to CarnieVille is that she gives the audience a mirror for their own squeamishness. Not everyone loves slime buckets, pratfalls, or circus smells—but everyone loves watching Carol complain about them. She embodies the role of the unwilling participant, the one person who hates being there but somehow makes the entire circus funnier because of it. Her misery is contagious in the best way, turning disgust into comedy and reluctance into entertainment. In CarnieVille, Carol doesn’t just endure the show—she is the show, whether she likes it or not.
