Watch as Dash endures the pain!
Using the acts of traditional comedic sideshow, audiences will be led through a joke filled, response participatory show that includes triggering animal traps on my hands/fingers and tongue
Not your ordinary show!
Hammering a nail into my nasal cavity and removing the nail via string and crossbow, and culminating with the ancient art form of swallowing swords. This and so much more!
