Leapin’ Louie uses circus, cowboy tricks, a six foot unicycle, and lots of comedy to explore all those wild critters, including us, who fly.In 400 million years five amazing groups of animals developed flight: Insects, pterosaurs, birds, bats and finally —humans. Only 66 years after the Wright Brothers invented the airplane, —we landed on the moon. Where are we flying to now?Leapin’ Louie is a master of physical comedy, trick roping, whip cracking, and juggling. He has performed one-person Leapin’ Louie shows in 35 different countries around the world, including many tours in Europe, Japan, and Australia. Locally you may have seen him at the White Album Christmas or the Rose Festival Artslandia stage.Leapin’ Louie has decided to turn his comedy and cowboy circus skills towards the celebration of the wild diversity of animals on this beautiful planet. It’s weird and fun.<a href="https://comedytricks.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://comedytricks.com</a>

<blockquote>“it&#x27;s the Wild West lasso-wielding clown Leapin&#x27; Louie Lichtenstein who&#x27;s going to make the $20 price tag well worth your time. The man is freaking amazing. The crowd lost it after every one of his acts—from the 20-foot diameter lasso he swung overhead while riding a super-tall unicycle, to the bull whip he cracked at the front row&#x27;s faces.” -- Portland Mercury</blockquote><a href="http://www.portlandmercury.com/BlogtownPDX/archives/2011/12/09/white-album-christmas" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.portlandmercury.com/BlogtownPDX/archives/2011/12/09/white-album-christmas</a>
