Clowns host free performance
|
The public is encouraged to attend an evening of Christian drama and entertainment at Pioneer Baptist Church, located at 1707 Yager Road. The Jan. 31 performance, open to the community at no cost, begins at 7 p.m. with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m.
Lanny Moody has performed at Six Flags Over Georgia and the Punchline Comedy Club in Atlanta, Ga. He has opened for such artists as New Song, Third Day, Brian Free and Assurance, Ron David Moore, Greg Long, NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon, and Jeff and Sheri Easter. He has also appeared on the Trinity Television program Comedy Street.
When he walks on stage, you’ll learn why he has been called the “Red Skelton” of Christian entertainment. Not only will attendees enjoy a great night of comedy, skits and juggling, Moody will give his personal testimony on how God can use anyone who surrenders to His will.
Bruce Johnson combines magic, juggling, pantomime, trick cartoons and audience interaction to create his own unique performance style. He is known for his rapport with children of all ages.
He spent six years touring with American circuses, and appeared for 11 years at the Raging Waters Amusement Park in Southern California. He was also a juggler for special events at Disneyland, including the grand opening of Toontown. He has represented the United States five times in international variety shows as part of clown festivals in Europe.
Johnson is recipient of the 2002 IMPACT Clown Award presented for “excellence in performance, heartfelt teaching and consistent quality in clowning.” His other honors include World Clown Association Clown of the Year, Laugh-Makers Magazine Contributor of the Year, Clowns of America International Artist In Residence, and U-W Clown Camp Red Nose Philosopher. In 1993, he was one of four speakers chosen to address the World Clown Congress in Harnosand, Sweden.
