Birthdays

Just back in the door from performing at a 6 yr olds birthday party! It was a really fun time. In the off season, or even full busy season, if we get a call for a birthday party show, and we're available, one Cowguy would be more than happy to get out and get your kids rolling around laughing. We generally do a show, then make cool balloons for all the kids, or teach a circus workshop.. total time is usually one hour, great for ages 4 and up.

Highlight from my last show was...

Brian "We'll need a magic word.."
Kid yells out "Abracadabra"
Brian "maybe a different magic word"
older kid "Take off your clothes and run around naked!"

Brian "How about we go with Abracadabra today..."

New set! Photos update!



The Ottawa Gala has come and gone. The Cowguys were lucky enough to get in two great shows, and we debued our new set! It looked great behind us as we did our thing.

Cowguy Jon was there too. He didn't make this photo. We'll be adding a youtube video from the show soon - the setup was amazing, and we arranged a video camera. Stay tuned!

New Cowguys Set!


The Cowguys just received delivery of our new set for our Grand Illusion show! It's a rack for our props, an illusion, a backdrop, and has telescoping ladders that go up 12ft, giving us a performance platform at 10ft high! Lawrence form Majinx fabricated it for us - he did an incredible job.

Now we tweak it up a little, and rehearse.

The Cowguys are also getting ready for a show at the Ottawa Gala this coming weekend - at the Government Conference Centre in Ottawa, on April 10th, 9:30pm. The Ottawa Gala is a fundraiser for the school breakfast program.

At the Gala we are performing a 3 Cowguy show - it doesn't happen often, but when it does we sure have fun with it. The finale for this show will include 3 different pieces of circus apparatus, and nine machetes flying around. Also keep an eye out for bullwhips, hot technical juggling, and squirting udders. Don't miss it!
