Busy busy busy....

Well I haven't posted in a few weeks just because we have been very busy with work and performing...its great. This past Sunday I performed the Dr. Molar Magic Show for the  in Brooklyn. Just a few blocks from Coney Island which means.....Nathan's Hot Dogs and Fries for lunch! Score.
The show was a hit, in spite of a few AV issues at the start, and the audience laughed and clapped throughout. Nothing gives me more pleasure when I walk out in front of the audience and a bunch of kids yell, " look its the clown", someday maybe I'll come into my office and all the patients in the waiting room will yell," hey look its the dentist!"....maybe not.

This Sunday we are off the Margaret Tietz Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Queens to perform at their family day, when all the grand kids come to visit. Phineas and I will be juggling, doing walk around magic and will be in charged of general stupidity and Pupperdoodle will have her temporary and glitter tattoo booth set up. It promises to be lots of fun

Phineas and I have enrolled in the NY Downtown Clown's Slapstick DOJO again, so now for the next 5 weeks on Wednesday night we will review how to slap each other silly and fall all over ourselves safely while the audience laughs their heads off......great fun, BYOM (that's bring your own Motrin for us over 40 clowns)


Any for all Magic Fans out there, the Parent Assembly of the Society of American Magician's Annual Salute to Magic Show will be Tuesday night May 21st. If you're interested, check out the website, www.SAMPA#1.com for ticket and show info. this year they are honoring my friend and Mentor Dr. Vic Sendax as Magician of the Year, I'm really looking forward to the show.

Hoopin' it up on 14th street

Last night I took Pupperdoodle into the city to go to Groove Hoops. My friend from NY Goofs clown college Stephan runs a weekly drop in class at the 14th Street Y with his performance hoop troupe. She had a blast and learned some cool new moves including a great maneuver where you jump through the hoop as you are spinning it across your body, looks awesome. I'm sure that one gets into her new routines.
Before class we walked around the area which is full of thrift and vintage clothes stores. Phineas found some good costume pieces for some new tings he has been working on.

We've started the fundraising for the annual American Cancer Society's Bark For Life Dog Walk.
Team CIRCUS BICUSPID led by Otto "Four Paw" will walk this year on May 6th at Riverside Park.
We sent out a mass email to start getting donations. We are looking for lots of small donations to show that even small contributions can easily add up. Check out our team page and please consider a small donation.

What a blast.......Circus Bicuspid Back for Seconds

The show was great! Phineas Pupperdoodle and I had soooo much fun on stage. The audience had a great time and there were many laughs and happily lots of applause. And now for one of my favorite parts......the passing routine was perfect!!! I didn't drop a single club. Thanks to the Producer's Club for the great service being very accommodating to us. Taking a small theatrical circus to an off Broadway theater is a lot of work but at the same time a big thrill. I also want to thank all our supporters who came out to see the show. The Kitchen Goddess took some great video and the Great Throwdini took lots and lots of photos. I'm working on editing everything to put up for the world to see on our web site so check out the blog and twitter for the updates.
So now that our circus is over we are headed to see Ringling Brothers Dragons at the Nassau Coliseum tomorrow night.
BTW Phineas had a great show at Dixon Place on Monday at the NY Downtown Revue.....
 Watch for the videos....keep 'em clean!

Another great Sunday and next week is almost here!

This past Sunday we had a great time performing at the annual Diabetes Research Institute's Carnival for A Cure at the Metropolitan Pavilion in NYC. Phineas and I spent the day juggling and clowning with all the folks who came to play the games and eat the food at this incredible fund raising event.
Honestly since we've been rehearsing for our show I've gotten much better with the club passing so we did a lot of passing at the carnival and we looked goooood. (I'm very proud of myself for learning this skill)
Next week is going to be a busy one. Monday Phineas performs at the NY Downtown Clown Revue at Dixon Place , Wednesday is CIRCUS BICUSPID BACK FOR SECONDS and next Friday we have tickets to Ringling Brothers Dragons at the Nassau Coliseum....we love the circus, ours or someone else's.
Check out our facebook page to see our latest video commercial for the show and the link to BrownPaperTickets to get your seats....they are going fast!

Brookdale Gets Therapy Dog Visit....

The Samuel Shulman Institute Nursing home and rehab center at Brookdale University Hospital now has a therapy dog program through the Good Dog Foundation. Otto is it! Today he started with his first therapy visit to meet and greet the residents. We spent an hour taking Otto around the room to be petted by everyone and then handed out his adorable trading cards. He had a great day and enjoyed his work uniform, the orange and blue good dog foundation bandanna,  and the attention he got from everyone (including Izzy the house cat, who came out to see who was visiting his space) We are all very excited to have Otto involved in this great project. As time goes by he is going to make regular visits and in the future he may come on clown rounds with us. We were also asked if we can include the nursing home/rehab center in our clown rounds and we have started looking into scheduling that as well.
Also....The show is coming, the show is coming......Circus Bicuspid Back For Seconds is March 21st 7:30pm at the Producer's Club.....get your tickets now at Brownpapertickets.com

What a week.......

Last weekend was the annual clown Jamboree in Mystic CT. It was a little different this year as there was no skit competition or makeup competition (good job Steve Kissel) but there was a star search evening on Friday. So both Phineas and Pupperdoodle performed. He juggled and she hooped and both won prizes for their performances. The best part of the weekend is meeting up with friends that we only see once a year like the always hysterical Brian Dwyer. We got to host a hospitality suite together where we all jammed on our ukeleles....lots of fun. Pupperdoodle presented Kathy "Tots" Mackey with a check for $350 from money she has raised for Camp Sundown as part of her BatMitzvah Chesed project. She is really a special kid. After lots of fun and clowning and a quick drive home we all passed out from exhaustion.
Then it was back to work.....but Friday came and it was time for the monthly SAM meeting. The after meeting show was a session on improv from Scotty Watson and our own Isaac Rodriguez. What a blast! I haven't had a chance to improv like that since my last NY Goofs class. Phineas joined in and we improved some very funny stuff for everyone.
Then tomorrow I'm performing the Dr. Molar Magic Show at the annual Second District Dental Society Dental Health Day. This year its being held at Aviator sports in Brooklyn. It always turns out to be a fun day and the kids who show up get lots of great info on good oral health care and dental care. Then on Monday Otto aka "Four Paw" makes his first Good Dog Foundation visit at Brookdale Hospital's Samuel Shulman Institute.
And.........the rehearsals have begun! Yes we are in full rehearsal mode for our Show on March 21st at The Producers Club...CIRCUS BICUSPID BACK FOR SECONDS. Tickets are available from BrownPaperTickets.com
