As far as an Entertainer Donnie Landis is one of the best in the business. His family orientated humor will leave the audience in stitches! His Vaudeville type stand up walk and talk and timing are the best in the business.

Some of his clown acts and antics include:

– The Mini One-armed Bandit, this is a parody of the numerous specialty Act of the year.
– The Wild Cantbeatalope, a Shaggy creature Donnie rides to the audience’s enjoyment. He then matches against a horse in a little competition that ends hilarious.
– Mario the trained flea, Donnie’s trained flea climbs to the top of a diving board and dives into a bucket of water and then the ACT Goes Up In Smoke as Mario jumps through a Burning Ring of Fire Jose Jose the bull fighting dog, in this antic,
– Donnie comes out to fight the fierce fighting bull Jose Jose but once the audience sees the little 15 lb horned animal come running full speed the crowd will scream with enjoyment.
– Also during the bull riding Donnie will set up his oversized mouse trap and hopes of catching that 1500 lb Mouse.

– Donnie works the crowd like no other, keeping them involved in the rodeo with no down time. He is always on hand if there is a breakdown.

– Donnie is also available for promotional work, and is willing to help promote your event any way possible.
