Manis O'Tool plans to perform his "Imperial Tibetan Yak Show" with Clark, his trained yak
Posted on 3/17/21
Hearts of Khyber is a collective of musicians and dancers who represent the nomads that traveled the ancient Silk Road. While crossing the continents, they absorbed the traditions, music, and dance from the multiple cultures they encountered.
- but Clark has gone missing at the last minute. Manis has prepared specifically yak related material and is now forced to come up with something else for his show... Fortunately, he's able to fill the time with storytelling (standup comedy), audience participation and a few flaming double headed axes that he can juggle.
The first groups of these travelers migrated into Great Britain by the end of the 15th century. They were initially welcomed by the local gentry and royalty to camp on the outskirts of towns or just outside city walls, and were often paid for playing music or telling fortunes.
Hearts of Khyber derives its name from the Khyber Pass, an integral, yet often treacherous, part of the ancient Silk Road. Having a heart of Khyber means you have the strength and fortitude to be the hardiest of travelers!
Come and visit the Hearts of Khyber encampment and watch these mysterious travelers perform live, historical music and dance!"

Punch and Judy is a traditional puppet show featuring Mr. Punch and his wife Judy.
Posted on 3/17/21
This year we have taken a page from our whiskey playbook of the past. We are bringing back the Blind Whiskey Competition!
The performance consists of a sequence of short scenes, each depicting an interaction between two characters, most typically Mr. Punch and one other character who usually falls victim to Punch's slapstick. It is often associated with traditional British culture. The various episodes of Punch comedy—often provoking shocked laughter—are dominated by the clowning of Mr. Punch.
Punch and Judy at a fete
The show is performed by a single puppeteer inside the booth, known since Victorian times as a "professor" or "punchman", and assisted sometimes by a "bottler" who corrals the audience outside the booth, introduces the performance, and collects the money ("the bottle"). The bottler might also play accompanying music or sound effects on a drum or guitar, and engage in back chat with the puppets, sometimes repeating lines that may have been difficult for the audience to understand. In Victorian times, the drum and pan pipes were the instruments of choice. Today, most professors work solo, since the need for a bottler became less important when street performing with the show gave way to paid engagements at private parties or public events. In modern shows the audience is encouraged to participate, calling out to the characters on the stage to warn them of danger or clue them in to what is going on behind their backs.
