Show Biz Dictionary: “Ding Show”

Posted By on December 14, 2008

Ding Show: Any type of side show entertainment where a donation is given to the owner of the show.  A box was at the entrance of the show and when the patrons dropped their coins into the box, you could hear a “ding” as the coins hit a small bell in the box which would alert a man at the door to let them into the show.
