YES! (Our comedy sideshow is clean, family fun for all ages, performed in an Addam’s family style)
YES! We are super clean and not risque or gross. Families will find our Addam’s Family Style of humor funny and refreshing. We have many acts that we do just for the kids. Because we have more acts of an adult nature, we save that until the end the show and invite adults to stay for that performance. Our goal is 100% laughing, happy people and zero complaints! Many county fairs hire us year after year! Ask about our insect museum and other acts!
YES! Colleges love us! One college has had us back six times!
YES! We Entertain at many Harley Davidson Dealerships often year after year!
Up to four shows in a day spaced every two hours. Many acts will repeat, however we will also mix it up across the day to keep it interesting. Some events opt to have a stroll instead of one of the shows, or we can do an all fire show for the last performance of the night. Both are great options, as are parades.
YES, but we often stroll anyway when we’re hawking our show!
SURE! We don’t want to offend anyone. Many venues either ask for more fire or no fire. Both are possible.
This probably our most frequently asked question! Our shows are 40 funny minutes with 10 minutes of hawking and 10 minutes of meet and greet.
ANYTHING WILL WORK! We can bring a stage, bring a stage trailer (our stage trailer is epic), use your stage, or perform in the ground… remember we’re the kind of people who walk on broken glass, so asphalt or grass doesn’t usually phase us. If it’s your stage 16’ x 16’ is optimal.
YES! We are super easy to work with! We only need a little electricity!
Depends on the situation, but roughly 1 – 3 hours depending.
Nope we bring that. If you already have it we will plug our two microphones and music into your system.
Our stage trailer is awesome and really adds to the show. It’s perfect for county fairs. We need a 40 long by 20 deep spot for the truck and trailer. We will also need either (minimum) 2 separate 20 amp circuits or one 30 Amp 3 prong plug.
