 In his award winning Traveling Medicine Show, Dr. Solar blends vaudevillian showmanship, comedy, magic, and the slapstick frolics of his colorful cast of puppet and animated objects into an unforgettable experience for both young and old.

Based upon the traditional traveling medicine shows from the early 1900’s, his self-contained solar powered traveling wagon provides an eco-friendly off-grid venue suitable for any location.

Through the use of magic and puppetry pizzazz, Dr Solar subtly blends old time Americana entertainment with contemporary ecological messages such as the value of recycling, waste reduction, and energy conservation. It’s a rollicking road show of family fun and wholesome values with a dash of education.

The Swan Bros. Circus is not your average circus. You won’t find any elephants or tigers but you will find slapstick comedy, clowns, and fantastic juggling. The self-described zany duo, Andy and Mike Swan have been performing together for over 35 years.

It all began when our oldest brother, George, taught Andy how to juggle back in 1966. At first Andy says he would visit the circuses just to see the jugglers, once he saw what else the circus had to offer he fell in love.

After high school he went off to join the circus, the DeWayne Bros. Circus in Oregon to be exact. During his year with them he learned just about everything there was to learn about circus life.

In 1973 Andy approached his brother Mike with the idea of starting their own circus. Mike thought it was a great idea and they performed their first show in Wichita Falls, Texas, for a small group of 12 children. From there they went on to perform at fairs and festivals all over California, becoming what they call themselves: “The biggest two-man circus in the world”.

Shows Daily Under the BIG Circus Tent!
