Johnny Obando’s Globe of Death Squad will thrill and amaze fairgoers of all ages with their best motorcycle stunts and aerial acrobatics. Three times a day, they enter the enormous metal sphere and defy gravity. It’s a sight to see, and you won’t want to miss it!  But take note – it’s also very loud! If you’ve ever seen a globe of death on television and wondered, this is your chance to get up close and see that this is the real deal!

Danish-born Henrik Bothe specializes in physical comedy. That means he doesn’t just sound funny, or tell jokes, he shows you what funny looks like!  He spins plates, walks on ladders, juggles without using his hands, spins ropes, manipulates fancy hats, rides a giant unicycle, and lots more. In other words, Henrik belongs in the circus! He will perform around the fairgrounds as a street performer. But his starring role will be as director of the Sonoma County Fair Circus Slide Whistle Band.  Fairgoers of all ages are invited to show up and be a part of the Band any day, August 3-9. Whistles will be provided, and a lack of experience is encouraged. Henrik will provide all the instruction you need.

Traditional clowns, the type many people are afraid of, won’t be at the Fair this summer. Instead, you will see the new generation of clowns – funny, talented, and not scary!  At the top of our list are Coventry & Kaluza. Jamie Coventry is a harmonica addict and eccentric juggler. Natasha Kaluza is The Super-Duper Hula Hooper. Just wait til you see how many hula hoops she can spin at once! The Plus 1 is the world’s cutest (and most talented) circus dog. In addition to performing in the show, Kaluza will be offering a short “how to hula hoop” session every day.

Silent comedy comes to the Fair, as Godfrey Daniels presents his brief but charming show five times each day. With just a few props and not a word spoken, Godfrey is a unique character in the world of live entertainment. With the naïveté of a child and the world-weariness of a philosopher, Godfrey evokes instant laughter in his viewers. The mere presence of Godfrey encompasses a panorama of moods from concern to embarrassment, curiosity to hilarity, and all of this without the utterance of a single word. His character does not speak, but he captivates audiences of all ages, nonetheless.

Scotty & Trink are the best juggling duo on the Fair circuit. They have entertained audiences all over the world with their hilarious combination of comedy, juggling, unicycling, and audience participation!  But best of all, they will make you laugh. As Penn Jillette (the louder half of Penn & Teller) says, they are “wicked funny.” Use the following link to find out more about Scotty & Trink:https://scottyandtrink.com/
