Professor Farquar and Miss Polecat Annie

Since 1987, the prodigious professor and his puckish partner have delivered top quality entertainment for audiences of all ages. They have toured throughout th􀀑 United States, performing at more than 1,000 venues; including state fairs, festivals, amusement parks, civic celebrations, concert halls, art expositions, museums, wild west extravaganzas, living history shindigs, wingdings, jubilations, and blowouts. Inspired by classic vaudeville artists and vintage medicine shows, their vibrant variety revue is a peerless presentation of notable historical significance; filled with traditional toe-tapping tunes, intriguing illusions, marvelous mysteries, and unabashed balderdash. Unlike the snake oil hucksters of yore, they peddle no elixirs. Instead, they freely dispense copious amounts of laughter, the best medicine of all! It's a bodacious blast from the past; an indubitable lollapalooza, a slice of Americana that's guaranteed to purge melancholy!  Polecat and the professor are also dynamic roving performers, offering interactive fun for all; hands-on instruction in circus arts and archaic amusements; plus lively music and demonstrations of savvy streetmagic.
