Finishing up come-in with Ringmaster John Moss coming up behind me.
The magic act that I substituted for the American Idol gag at shows where we didn't have the right potential volunteers. I don't think that we had the right potential volunteers at more than a handful of shows.
Audience participation gags are tough to pull off "in the heartland".
Playing a lovesick mariachi and working with the beautiful and talented Ms. Sara Green in spec.
Doing the old Egg Basket gag (borrowed from K-M's "Handsome Harlo") during intermission.
My fright wig bit, done at the top of the second act.
And (after a little bit of "You Can't Do That Here" while the ring mat gets reset) it's time for some comedy plate spinning, done to the song "Wipeout" by the Surfaris.
I hope that Mike had as much fun on the show as I did and that I'll be able to return for K-M's dates in PA, MD, NJ, NY and CT.
what a great show and for production awesome.also wanted to know who built the egg basket gag or did u build it yourself?I remember seeing it used by a chinese acrobat at a theme park show.thanks mil(:O) D clown...
ReplyDelete"Handsome Harlo" built the Egg Basket.
ReplyDeleteIf you see that Kelly-Miller is anywhere nearby, stop in and see him. He'll be there all season long. I'm sure that he'll be glad to show you the prop and let you know how it is constructed.
And be sure to tell him that I said "Hi"!
