Show Menu

The New York Goofs are a troupe of physical comedians who present
bright and exciting family entertainment for everyone,
and that means Moms and Dads too. From the circus arts
to an eccentric music ensemble, The Goofs bring a world
filled with fun and unique comedy entertainment.

Festival Stage Show

The New York Goofs present a live comedy variety show with a cast
of crazies (5 to 8 performers) who dance, juggle, play music,
and parody the foibles and inconsistencies of human existence. If
anyone in the audience canıt find a laugh in this show, check
their pulse. Show length can vary from 15 minutes to 50 minutes.

Fascination

This hour long theatrical clown show is a battle of wits between
a concert pianist and his two servants. Exploring the wonders of the
Classic Trio, the Goofs transform chaos into music and prove
eventually that three people can get along.

The cast of "Fascination" plays 9 musical instruments including
concertina and musical saw, dances the Charleston, Flamenco,
and the Electric Slide. Juggles hats, balls, plates, and feathers, and
makes objects and humans magically float through space.

But the show is really about the relationship of these three
characters, Jeske, Monday and Slappy. If you like the Marx Brothers or
Spike Jones, you're probably old enough to have been exposed to the
golden age of comedy. "Fascination" takes the magic of classic comedy and
reshapes it into a retro-hip performance for audiences
young and old alike.

Slappy and Monday- Show Emcees

The founders of the Goofs, Tiffany Riley and Dick Monday, serve as hosts
of any kind of program by welcoming the audience and doing the introductions
of show participants. Each transition includes a comic reprise to
cover any stage sets or strikes and helps give the program a feeling of continuity.
