| - I've always believed that the greatest gift God gives to some people, is the ability to make other folks LAUGH. Well, Ray Wold & his wife of 21+ years, Christina, know exactly how to do that. This review concerns and addresses their Monday night entertainment show "for mature audiences," so for this one (8PM - 10 PM), leave the under-age-21 youngsters at home.
I got a couple of free tickets from someone who had already seen the show, and he recommended it highly, so on August 12, 2013, one of my best friends and I decided to check it out and we're very glad we did. Speaking only for myself, I don't think I have laughed so long and so hard at the antics of a live clown, in many years.
Ray Wold was with the Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey Circus for several years, meaning that he attended the world famous "Clown College" run by "The Greatest Show on Earth"® and learned his craft well. He's a juggler, magician, stand-up comedian, singer, knife thrower, whip cracker, balancing artist, unicyclist, illusionist and all-around-terrific entertainer.
His crowds are not large (yet!), but they will be, once more people become aware of what he does, that other entertainers simply do not do: He tries to make every member of the audience a PARTICIPANT in his stunts, so the audience member becomes PART of the act.
In my case, as one example, I stood on stage while blindfolded, and he threw a knife aimed at an inflated balloon that I was holding between my legs. Was I worried? Not a bit. Ray & Christina Wold are two people you can TRUST COMPLETELY, and that adds to the fun. Another audience member placed her neck into a Guillotine prop and allowed another actor (playing a Pirate character) to shove the blade downward. Was she decapitated? What do YOU think? (See the show and find out for yourself.)
It's always neat to be "part of the act," and human beings have never existed, who didn't enjoy applause directed at them, so that's just one more reason to stop in and catch their performances.
After the show is over (10 PM), they have "Open Mike," where audience members may step up to the stage and sing karaoke or tell the other audience members their favorite "risqué" stories. Again, the idea is to involve the audience as much as possible in the FUN that everyone is having, by making willing audience members a genuine part of what is happening.
I try to avoid doing any kind of business with companies that don't have a good reputation in the local community, so I "check them out" with the Better Business Bureau. I am very pleased to report that the BBB has not processed even ONE complaint against this outstanding company in the past 3 years, and the company currently is "A+" rated. The PROOF of that, is here:

So, if you are free some Monday night, stop by and catch their acts. I think you'll enjoy doing lots of laughing and applauding, motivated by some of the best comedic performers in town.
