Cowboys and County Fairs

On the road again with “Tumbleweed Crossing,” a traveling comedy gunfight show based out of Fort Worth, TX that tours the country performing for state and county fairs. This brings me back to my roots where I started as a stunt performer -- talking in an over-the-top Western accent, firing six-shooters with blank loads, and falling off a building. We’re just south of Richmond, VA for the week performing the Chesterfield County Fair. In the coming weeks I’ll be in Washington state, Texas, and North Carolina before wrapping my tour at the end of October.

This marks the first time I’ve driven my Jeep to a contract since moving to San Antonio in 2009. Upgraded speakers and new tires made it a comfortable three hour drive down here; even reinstalled the back bench and seat belts in case the cast wants to ride anywhere with me. But I now remember how uncomfortable the longer drives can be in the old Jeep and I highly doubt I’ll ever take a long road trip in it again.

The show is a four-man comedic showdown between a feuding duo of Marshall & Deputy and two eager-to-fight outlaws who wander into the quaint town of Tumbleweed Crossing. Biting words turn into flying bullets as the conflict culminates in a shoot out with my character being shot off the jail roof. The whole set consists of theatrical flats and theming that unbolt and stack together in a 20 foot trailer which is then towed to the next venue. Quite a brilliant rig, really. And seeing how the cast has a company truck for transportation and a call time in the late afternoon, we’ll have the chance to venture out to see local attractions in each new town.

I get to be a tourist in my own country again.
