Two performers: one outwardly
calm, the other wound tighter than a spring. If there is a dim-witted
innocence about
them, it’s because their childlike charm permeates their world,
placing them in situations where something almost always go wrong.
Veterans
of film, television, radio and the stage, Wells & Woodhead
have performed for audiences on six continents. Their new show, “FOOLZ”,
is a character-driven amalgam of theater, music, comedy and juggling
that visually demonstrates the power of cooperation between performers
with vastly different dispositions.
Ricky Wells, fluent
in four languages, is a Danish juggler with enormous dexterity
and casual ease, while his partner, Woodhead, weaves a tapestry of
chaos, slapstick
and ‘eclectic’ music with the menacing uncertainty
of a tornado. Recently featured at HBO’s Comedy Festival
with Jon Stewart and Penn & Teller, their hi tech optical
illusion “Neonman” never
fails to wow an audience.
The FOOLZ signature grand
finale is a one of a kind, frenzied, frenetic juggle montage
using a consortium of absurd objects (chairs, guitars, bird cages,
umbrellas,
rubber chicken, etc.). Never two shows the same, expect the unexpected.
Funniest and most original act I’ve
ever seen.
