Showtime Steve: Comedy, juggling and other wonders on Saturday, June 4, 12:30 p.m. Kick-off your summer reading program with a performance by Showtime Steve. Come early to register for our summer reading program and then enjoy the show.
Dubbed “The Human Variety Show,” Showtime Steve is a one-of-a-kind performer, harnessing his signature off-the-cuff comedy and show-stopping stunts to create a high-energy show unlike any other. Audiences across the U.S. and beyond have seen Steve juggle everything from shoes and car-keys, to machetes and balloons, as well as re-create a 100-year-old Houdini rope escape, contort his entire body through a folding chair, manipulate LED light props in the dark and balance a ladder (and other large objects) on his face. Mixed with a healthy dose of physical comedy and audience participation makes this show an unforgettable experience for the whole family. Recommended for ages 5 and up. This show may contain strobing light effects and dangerous looking stage props. Register online today at egpl.org
