Johnny Peers & The Muttville Comix: Circus-Style Comedy Show with Rescued Dogs!

Description

Sit! Stay! Get ready to howl! Johnny Peers and his personality-plus canines are coming to tickle your funny bone on Sunday, April 27th at 4pm at Town Hall Theater. Johnny Peers and the Muttville Comix is a slapstick comedy act like no other. Johnny leads over a dozen dogs through challenging and hilarious tricks as Johnny plays the straight man role in this wonderful show.

A Ringling Brothers Clown College graduate, Johnny Peers has been working with dogs since he got his first puppy, Freckles, a Beagle mix, from the Humane Society. Since their 1980 debut, the Muttville Comix have appeared on David Letterman, Primetime Live and Circus of the Stars, and at Disneyland, Busch Gardens, the Big Apple Circus, the Royal Hanneford Circus, even The White House!

A show for the whole family and the dog lover in all of us, the show stars mostly dogs rescued from shelters or pounds, like Daphne, the world’s only skateboarding Basset Hound; Squeaky, the ladder climbing Fox Terrier; Mr. Pepe, who only responds to commands in Spanish; and Sir Winston, the Pointer mix who only answers to “Sir.” The 2003 Animal Planet Pet Star Winners, the Providence Journal-Bulletin calls the show, “…a truly funny, slapstick dog act.

“The number of rave reviews I’ve heard about this show are off the charts,” said Lisa Mitchell, THT Executive & Artistic Director. “For years, people have been begging me to bring back Johnny Peers & the Muttville Comix. It’s among the most beloved performances that have ever played Town Hall Theater, by many accounts. Don’t miss your chance to see this heart-warming spectacle!”

Johnny Peers & the Muttville Comix runs from 4-5pm, plus photo ops and meet & greet with the star canines after the show.
