Our Story

Steve Russell and Kobi Shaw Met in College

Seems simple and straightforward enough. The thing is, the college was Clown College, run by Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. Somehow, amid all of the circus hype and the big clown shoes, these two formed a great friendship that (eventually) led to an onstage partnership and (finally!) to marriage.

Performing together since 1996, Steve and Kobi have established themselves as a premier entertainment company. Their delightful blend of comedy and juggling is featured nationwide on TV, at fairs, festivals, corporate meetings and family events.

Every age group “gets it” at their own level. While the kids are laughing at the physical comedy, the older folks are guffawing at the wit.
