Matthew Romain: Laughtertainer -- Colonel Quackhorn

Let Me Laughter-tain you!

A Wacky Revival of the Great Old Travelling Snake-Oil Salesman Shows!

elixir

The Colonel, is a big bold character who presents a variety show of large colourful puppets, including:
The Wild Giant Grasshoppers of Borneo,
who dance the Can-Can,
The Singing Catfish,
a blues/scat singer who squirts the audience whenever he says the letter S,
The Largest Egg in the World,
which hatches before the audience,
and an exotic plant
who does a really decent James Brown impersonation. :)

Throughout the show, the Colonel expounds the virtues of his wonderful elixir which he promises to sell to the audience at the end of the show. When the end of the show arrives, he's shaken to find that his side-kick monkey has used up all the elixir. The audience however is found to be invigorated, rejuvenated, and revitalized even without having bought any elixir, and a great time has been had by all. With a variable running time, this non-stop laugh riot is perfect for festivals and concert series!
