Dead and Alive and Frozen, too!

Rich Hughson and I are working on a new comedy routine loosely based on the time-old "Dead and Alive" skit. Our version employs sound effects and some rope tricks. It is a work in progress . . .

New Year's Snowman

To create a snowman: look around for available material. Pile it up. Add and subtract until you are satisfied. Don't forget to step back from time to time to assess your work.

New Year's Eve 2012/13

Once again we celebrated the year's end/beginning in Watch Hill, Rhode Island with our dear friends who shall not be named here, but they know who they are. A featured event on this evening was the "baton twirling open" during which several guests took a turn at manipulating my LED devil stick. Here are some of the results:

Diabolo Follies

Rich Hughson and I are putting together a comedy diabolo routine as part of Flower City Vaudeville's performances this September at Rochester Fringe Festival. This video is one of our first backyard run throughs. I've dubbed in some accordion music by fellow Flower City Vaudeville member, Dave Paprocki. I'll try to post a more polished version when we get there!
