We offer the following types of Acts!

Comedy Troupe founder Ty Cardacey is an International Award Winning lasso
artist, whip cracker, NY International Clown Festival bronze medal winner for
eccentric dance, two time Will Rogers Memorial association's Comedy Cowboy
Roper of the Year. Ty Cardacey expresses the cowboy philosophy of America's
favorite son Will Rogers, keeping alive the spirit of the man who was considered the unofficial
spokesperson of the American people! He’s a veritable one-man wild-west-burlesque show.
Scout Durwood was born and raised in Kansas City and graduated cum laude from Amherst College with
a degree in Political and Social Activism through Theatre. She has written and produced two solo shows
and is a former title holder in the Miss America pageant system. From stand-up and sketch to Burlesque, why, Scout is also a veritable one-woman variety show!
These acts are a hybrid of burlesque tease and side act spectacle, featuring some of the best of
wild west and burlesque. A new twist on the classic burlesque balloon acts and wild western duel.
No balloon or gender paradigm untorn!
Sexy physical comedy abounds with this new twist on the classical western duel and the classic burlesque balloon act, which get it popping, leaving no cheesy show biz gender paradigm unscathed along the way. Featuring the comedy bull whip artistry of Ty Cardacey (International Wild West Arts Gold Medalist for Accuracy and Speed with Whips in 2000, and the diamond that is Scout Durwood (Miss America Pageant / MTV, Ms. LEZ (ScoutDurwood.com)
The act was part of a Political Comedy Wild West Burlesque Swing State culture jam campaign in support of Barack Obama for President produced by pressure group Cowboys for Barack of which Ty Cardacey is a founder and spokesperson of in addition to the group cowboys opposed to war.
I have another burlesque and variety act hybrid fusion piece. The gag is I execute various horse catches with the lasso, using my lovely assister to demonstrate. Each time she removes a thrown lasso, an article of clothing comes off. Sexy, Funny, Campy, and Irreverent.
here is a link to this act which really begins 4 minutes and 10 seconds into video link.
A tribute to the classic burlesque comic stylings of the Hero-fool trickster Will Rogers from the Ziegfield Follies who was half Cherokee and the best trick roping cowboy in history. In addition to breaking the cowboy and Indian division, while spinning a lasso Will told brilliant political observations in a “home spun” “folky huckster” way and mysteriously a great deal of his topical material has stood the test of 80 years. Here’s a link from a show I did at the Comedy Caravan in Kentucky..
Also I have original material in the spirit of Will Rogers, using the old set up punch style while playing
with a rope while speaking truth to power; also doing impressions including some original satire and
Bush Parody!
