Best described as a show without boundaries, Hilby is the living proof that being German doesn’t mean you can not be funny. While being an expert in juggling
all sorts of objects and subjects as well as countless circus and variety skills (such as Unicycling, ropewalking, unsupported ladder, fire manipulations and eating, balancing stunts and the list goes on and on), he really
gets his audience involved and creates magical and hilarious moments through their participation.
Glenn Singer was born in the year of Sputnik into the home of a rocket scientist, and subsequently raised by dwarves.
Invited to leave private school on his first day in grade one, Singer embarked on a scholastic career that surprised no one. Reaching the age of consent with no
convictions, He decided to become a Vaudevillian. All that television in the early sixties had left an impression.
Having performed since 1987 on every continent except Antarctica, Glenn has secured a place for himself at the very bottom of
the big time with engagements at venues ranging from Caesar's Palace to Osaka Castle.
After retiring to his isolated prairie yurt in 1997, self-described street performing "legend" Young Raoul
returns with this first public performance in over ten years.
One time star of stage, street and teen slasher flicks, the reclusive Raoul will
be presenting his famed "end-of career" piece, The Trolley Show. TTS sees the Young One once
again pushing the peripheries of pointlessness as he travels the Festival perimeter, often seeming strangely
disinterested and always either just returning from delivering a "monster show" or en route to "beginning" another.
There will be no encores.
Audiences around the world have been entertained with the outrageous comedy and sideshow magic of Magic Brian.
He has performed throughout the U.S. and Canada with a vaudeville burlesque circus, worked the sideshow stage
of New York’s famous Coney Island and appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman. Magic Brian has performed
in 11 countries appearing at international street theater and arts festivals around the world. In 2006 he won
the people’s choice award for Best Performer at the Windsor International Buskers Festival in Windsor, Ontario.
Magic Brian’s eclectic repertoire ranges from an unbelievable escape from a straitjacket and chains to the miraculous
production of an impossible amount of sponge bunnies out of thin air. You can also find him of swallowing razor blades,
eating light bulbs and hammering nails into his head. Magic Brian incorporates the old with the new - using inspiration from circus sideshow acts as well as
classic magic effects, then adding his own unique and humorous twist to it all.
Guinness World Record Holder Rob Williams will make you laugh, cheer, and rethink your lunch plans. The only man in the world
to perform the boloney sandwich made with the feet routine, he also dabbles in hand made mayhem such as juggling and whip
cracking. Come see the act that made both Jay Leno and Donny Osmond spit as soon as they cut to commercial. Rob Williams is an
equal opportunity employer and will honor all competitors coupons.
