Speaker Biographies
Thomas J. Carey
Thomas J. Carey, a native Philadelphian,
holds degrees from Temple University
(B.S. in Business Administration) and
California State University, Sacramento
(M.A. in Anthropology), and also
attended the University of Toronto in its
Ph.D. Programmer in Anthropology. An
Air Force veteran who held a Top Secret/
Crypto clearance, Tom is now a retired
Philadelphia area businessman. He has
been a Mutual UFO Network (MUFON)
State Section Director for Southeastern
Pennsylvania from 1986 to 2001, a Special Investigator for the J.
Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) from 1991 to 2001,
and a member of the CUFOS board of directors from 1997 to 2001.
Tom began investigating aspects of the Roswell Incident in 1991 for
the Roswell investigative team of Kevin Randle and Don Schmitt, and
since 1998 has teamed exclusively with Don Schmitt to continue a
proactive investigation of the case. Tom has authored or coauthored
more than 40 published articles about the Roswell events of 1947,
and has contributed to a number of books on the subject as well. He
has appeared as a guest on many radio and TV shows throughout
the country, including Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell and George
Noory, the Shirley MacLaine Show, Fox and Friends, Comcast
Network Friends and Larry King Live! (twice) and has contributed to
a number of Roswell-related documentaries – on-screen and behind
the scenes. Tom was a consultant and interviewee on the highly
acclaimed, two-hour SyFy Channel documentary, The Roswell
Crash: Startling New Evidence, the Discovery Channel’s Conspiracy
Theory, the Travel Channel’s Weird Travels – Roswell, the SyFy
Channel’s SyFy Investigates and the History Channel’s, The UFO
Hunters. He was also a featured interviewee on the 20th Century
Fox, Golden Anniversary, re-release DVD of the 1951 sci-fi movie
classic, The Day the Earth Stood Still. His 2007 book, co-authored
with Don Schmitt, Witness to Roswell: Unmasking the 60-Year
Cover-Up, was the #1 best-selling UFO book in the world in 20072008. Its sequel, Witness to Roswell: Unmasking the Government’s
Biggest Cover-Up, published 2009, remains a best seller. Both
books are considered to be the best books ever written about the
“Roswell Incident.” A motion picture, based upon these books, titled
Majic Men, is nearing production, and a TV mini-series is in the
works. His new book about the secret history of Wright-Patterson Air
Force Base titled Inside the Real Area 51, also co-authored with Don
Schmitt and released in August of 2013, is currently the #1 selling
UFO book in the world, according to Amazon. Another book about
Roswell, also with Don Schmitt, is “in-press” for a 2014 release. A
third archaeological “dig” at the Roswell crash site was completed in
September 2013 with potentially interesting results.
At this point, Tom is 99.99% certain that an extraterrestrial spacecraft
with crew crashed just north of the town of Roswell, New Mexico the
evening of July 2, 1947. There is 0% chance that it was a “weather
balloon,” a “Project Mogul” balloon device or anthropomorphic
“dummies” from high-altitude parachute drops made during the
1950s. “Occam’s Razor” demands this conclusion.
Tom resides in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania with his wife of 46
years, Doreen, and they have two grown children.
James Clarkson
James Clarkson is a career investigator with over 30 years’ experience
in criminal investigation and in the mysterious world of UFOs. He is a
retired police sergeant having worked as a detective sergeant, fatal
accident team supervisor and a patrol supervisor. After retiring with
20 years’ service, he became a child abuse detective and now has a
decade of service as a fraud investigator
for a state agency. He brings these skills
and a no-nonsense approach to bear on
the mystery of UFOs.
Applying the same passion for
solving mysteries to the world of High
Strangeness, James Clarkson serves
as the Washington State Director of
MUFON and also as a member of
MUFON’s STAR Team.
James has had a lifelong interest in UFO
history, and he joined MUFON in 1986.
He has lectured extensively throughout
Washington State, at symposiums
across the country and in Paris. He has been a guest on numerous
radio shows. During a presentation in 1993 he met June Crain, a
key corroborating witness to the reality of the Roswell UFO Crash
and other military crash retrievals. She also provided key insights
to early days of the ongoing UFO Cover-Up. June worked at Wright
Patterson AFB between 1942 and 1952 in top secret laboratories.
After becoming friends, in her last days, June Crain chose to reveal
her life story to James. Her remarkable history is captured in his
book TELL MY STORY – June Crain, the Air Force & UFOs.
Now in Roswell, James Clarkson presents the completed study
of the Westport UFO Crash Retrieval Event from the SW Coast
of Washington in 1979. The elements of this case are valuable
for all students of crashed UFOs and covert military response.
This investigation was enhanced by the number of highly credible
witnesses to the crash and its aftermath. His newest work is titled
Westport UFO Crash Retrieval Event – A Case Study.

Patty Greer
Patty Greer was a professional musician
for decades, playing the harp and
piano and singing with bands. In 2004
she trusted the wrong dentist and was
poisoned severely by mercury fillings.
For years she was seeking a healing
miracle, and when everything failed
she headed to the UK Crop Circles.
Laying in Crop Circles day after day
she developed (what appeared to be)
a telepathic communication with the
Circlemakers. After an OBE (out-of-body-experience) in an English
Crop Circle in 2007 she became fully fearless in the fields! Climbing
up the hillsides with her cameras late at night she filmed Balls of
Light in great detail! Shooting the Crop Circles from small airplanes
in wind and rain, with no door on her side and barely a seat belt was
totally over the top!
Patty Greer journeyed to the epicenter of the Crop Circle
phenomenon (Wiltshire England) in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 and
2011. Finding herself in the front line of Crop Circle researchers,
she created six highly informative films in record time. With no
makeup or preparation, no storyboard or script, no BS and no other
researcher’s data, the movies have advanced Crop Circle research
& understanding tremendously to this day. Documenting her first
hand experiences and interviewing other Croppies, druids and
researchers in the fields, Greer offers stunning cinematography and
authentic Crop Circle images spanning the last 30 years.
Unfortunately her movies were suppressed by old paradigm
distributors for years, but that didn’t stopped her from moving
forward. She received a standing ovation for her presentation at the
2014 International UFO Congress Convention and is heading back
to the Crop Circles with an international film crew to film again in
2014.
So let’s delve into the Crop Circle phenomenon with a film maker
who has visited more than 100 Crop Circles personally. With no
previous training or experience in film making whatsoever, she zoned
in on the UK Crop Circles and interacted with the ‘Balls of Light’ that
have been seen in and around the UK Crop Circles for decades!
Greer takes the study into a new realm of possibilities with daunting
new footage and clips from her documentaries as potential evidence
that (ET) Balls of Light may indeed be involved in the creation of
(many) Crop Circles!
Greer believes the Crop Circles are an intentional manifestation
of ET communication for humanity. Direct messages from parallel
realities perhaps, in a language that we all understand: ART. Through
binary codes, sacred geometry and precise artistic pictograms, many
Crop Circle messages have been decoded and deciphered, offering
profound insight about the evolution of our planet and our species.
Although the subject has been conveniently swept under the rug,
Crop Circles have continued appearing around the world for centuries.
As an example, 2012 was a typical year for the Circlemakers, with
69 new Crop Circles in England alone. 56 more were documented
in: Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Czech Republic, Iran, Slovakia,
France, The Netherlands, Latvia, Poland, Macedonia, Germany,
Switzerland, Norway, Belgium, USA, Denmark and Australia. Did we
hear about them in the news? Probably not!
Patty Greer has won 6 prestigious film awards so far including 3
EBE Awards at the International UFO Congress Convention. If
you’re a believer be prepared to be captivated. If you’re a skeptic be
prepared to be converted!

UFOs, Bigfoot, chupacabras, mermaids,
and other unusual occurrences. Hansen
graduated from the University of Utah and went to work investigating
child physical abuse and sex crimes at the state level for several
years before moving on to work for the FBI. He eventually landed

Larry Holcombe
Larry Holcombe’s introduction into
the world of Ufology came in the late
1950’s after reading two of Major Donald
Keyhoe’s books; Flying Saucers are
Real and Flying Saucers from Outer
Space. A year later, after watching
Keyhoe debate an Air Force officer on
the old Armstrong Circle Theater, and
seeing Keyhoe being censored when he
deviated from the prepared script the Air
Force forced on the show’s producers,
Larry was convinced the Air Force was covering up knowledge of
flying saucers, later to be changed UFO’s. Those events started
a fifty plus year avocation into the study and research of the UFO
phenomenon. In 2006 he took early retirement and started his first
novel, The Great River Disclosure, a thriller based on the government
cover-up of an extraterrestrial presence visiting earth. His second
novel in the Disclosure Trilogy, Satan’s Angel, was released this past
fall in eBook format. In researching background for the novels he
became intrigued by a 1970’s NBC-TV documentary, UFOS: Past,
Present & Future. The documentary endorsed the theory that some
UFO’s were extraterrestrial and astonishingly the documentary
seemed to have the support of the government. Larry was able to
locate the writer/co-producer of the documentary, Bob Emenegger,
and Emenegger provided him with some remarkable background
information on the making of the documentary that involved the
Nixon Administration. From this background the idea of a work of
non-fiction began to shape built around the documentary, the Nixon
Administration, and the involvement of all modern presidents in the
UFO phenomenon. A detailed book proposal was developed and
in the fall of 2012 the rights to “The History of Modern Presidents
and the UFO Enigma was purchased by St. Martin’s Press. Since
the first of the year Larry has been traveling to research the book
with a release date expected in early 2014. He has done a number
of radio interviews and most recently with Pat Schouten host of The
Fringe Radio Show on KTKK AM630, Salt Lake City. He continues
to believe that the Roswell Incident was the defining event that has
shaped the governments handling of this historical phenomenon. His
lectures this year will include “Six indisputable facts that the Roswell
Incident was an extraterrestrial event” and his soon to be released
book, “The History of Modern Presidents and the UFO Enigma”.

event. He has worked as a professional
geologist for more than 30 years and has
taught school for almost 1/2 of that time.
He has worked as an oceanographer for
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration and as a mining engineer
for the State of Arizona. He moved to New Mexico in 2009 after
accepting a teaching position at the New Mexico Military Institute in
Roswell. Shortly after moving to Roswell he took a keen interest in
the story behind the Roswell UFO incident. His research has resulted
in the discovery of a number of physical artifacts from the Roswell
UFO debris field area including metallic fragments, plastic, 1940′s
military metal buttons, a 50-caliber bullet (WW2 era ?) and aerial
photographic evidence of disturbed ground in and around the debris
field. His research has been featured on a number of Internet talk
shows and several National Geographic TV programs about UFO’s.
He does not like secrets and is dedicated to discovering answers
and using good science.
Sharon King
Sharon King has been an early childhood Teacher, Program
Coordinator & a Director in child care centers for over 26 years. She
has always liked doing arts and crafts and working with children.
Over the years she has made many fun activities to share with
children. Her book Junior Alien Zone is a fun and interesting arts
and crafts, and activity book about Aliens which can be used in many
different ways. Sharon never thought she would write a children
book and then it happened. In the summer of 2004, she and her
husband took their niece and family on vacation to Roswell, NM.
While they were there, they learned about the UFO Festival held
every July. Sharon had so many ideas, she started to write them all
down and the rest is history…a book was born. Thirty three days
after Junior Alien Zone was published,
she had her first book signing. It took
place at the Roswalien Experience
2009 Festival in the International UFO
Museum & Research Center in Roswell,
New Mexico. The book received a lot
of attention and positive exposure.
Sharon’s new book titled “Oops Was
Bullied?” tells the tale of two beings – a
wee extraterrestrial named Oops and a
young Earth girl – who become friends
when Oops crashes to Earth. They
couldn’t be more different: different
languages, different points of view, different backgrounds, all packed
into two very different little bodies. In fact, it’s those differences that
lead to a harsh reality for tiny Oops, who is bullied because he’s not
like others. Written for children from preschool age through grade
five, the juvenile fiction, “Oops Was Bullied?” is a fun and easy read
that teaches children valuable lessons about the consequences
of bullying through the eyes of her vibrant and lovable characters.
Sharon lives in Amarillo, Texas, with her husband of 43 years,
Charles. They have three adult children, four grandchildren, one
great-grandchild, and two dogs.

research is his newly-published book,
Triangular UFOs: An Estimate of the
Situation. Here, he has provided a
comprehensive analysis of triangular
UFOs. He has collected, collated, and
analyzed hundreds of reports. In the
process, he has created a detailed
profile of these objects and written a

Thomas Reed
Thomas Reed, born February 12, 1960,
is the son of Nancy and Dr. Howard
Reed. Reed is best known for his edgy
style of photography and being the
founder and owner of the original “Miami
Models”, (US Patent and Trademark
Office Reg.No. 3,834,78). Florida
based Miami Models, was managed by
Thomas Reed, and the firm respected
for its European Print Fashion Board.
Miami Models, under the direction of
Thomas Reed, booked clients such as Polo Black Label, L’Oreal,
Matrix, Vogue Bambini, Nike Athletic, US Polo, Saks Fifth Avenue,
The Gap, Guess, Burdines-Macys, Chadwicks, Lands End, Parisian,
Jessica of London, Yonkers, Weebok, MTV, Kohls, Goodys, Dilliards,
FCA Paris, France and Tommy Hilfiger.
From 1983 through 2005, Reed was shooting editorials and model
composite cards for agencies such as Michelle Pommier, Ford,
Willomina, Greene Agency, Chic, AGE, Irene Marie, Boca Talent,
World of Kids, Famous Faces. Reed’s years in South Florida’s fashion
industry showcased his talents as an award-winning fashion and
model photographer. Reed’s edgy and raw editorial style captured
attention, winning the newcomer First Place in South Florida Fashion
Photography Contests twice in just four years. This would launch his
company, Miami Models.
EARLY LIFE: Reed was born in New York and is the son of Nancy
(Burrows) Reed (Powers Model, FM radio personality for WKZE,
owner of Village on the Green restaurant in Sheffield, MA, who also
bred and trained horses). His step-father, Dr. Howard Reed (Attorney
and Connecticut politician), would legally adopt Reed.
From 1960 through 1961, Reed lived in the home of William
Roosevelt, the grandson of President Roosevelt, in Cherry Hills,
Colorado. His mother, Nancy and grandmother (Marian Burrows)
were employed by the family with residence on property. By 1963,
Reed would relocate to a farm house at 1554 Boardman Street,
Sheffield, Massachusetts, owned by his mother, Nancy. Reed lived
there until he was 9 years old. Thom’s elementary school, Sheffield
Center School was located in the heart of Sheffield, across the street
from where Nancy owned her restaurant “Village on the Green” at
113 Main Street, Sheffield, Mass. It was commonplace for Reed to
accompany his mother to open the restaurant and on a full stomach,
ride his bicycle to and from school.
In 2013, the Reed’s early history would be the subject and premiere
of Discovery Channel’s Alien Mysteries new series. Reed has
appeared on the Fox Morning Show, Travel Channel’s Paranormal
Paparazzi, and Canada Morning AM (among others), due to
extraordinary circumstances involving his family. These events have
now gained international recognition involving the family’s UFO case.
The 2009 encounter produced radiation and magnetic anomalies
per the official reports from law enforcement. Law enforcement
requested Thomas Reed take a polygraph test August 4, 2010 at the
Advanced Polygraph Institute in Knoxville, TN, which he passed with
a 99.1%, no deception indicated.
The Reed case assisted in their personal attorney’s efforts, (Robert
Bletchman) by adding credible and corroborated testimony, which
was presented by Robert at the United Nations symposium on
October 2, 1992. The objective was to introduce substantiated cases
to motivate the U.N. to reconsider 33/426. (33/426 references an
establishment of an agency or a dept. of the U. N. for undertaking,
coordinating and disseminating the results of research into
unidentified flying objects.) This came 10 days before NASA began
SETI’s Microwave Observing Project (MOP/HRMS). The Reed case
is one of only a few, to be mentioned at the United Nations.
In March of 2013, News Anchor Jacqueline Milczarek of CTV News
Express Canada ran a news story on the Reed case prior to the
launch of Discovery Channel’s Alien Mysteries. Jacqueline discusses
the testimony and evidence in the case that was detected by law
enforcement, to include radiation and magnetic fields and the fact
that the case went before the United Nations on October 2, 1992.

Derrel W. Sims
Derrel Sims, CMHt.,“The Alien Hunter,”
has been at the forefront of alien
investigation for more than 35 years.
From ages 4 to 17, he experienced
numerous conscious contacts with a
malignant alien presence. Determined to
transform his life role from the “hunted”
to the “hunter,” he prepared himself
mentally, physically, and spiritually to
become a warrior for the cause of the
alien abductee.
At the heart of Sims’ work is a proactive search for physical evidence
and its forensic analysis. A private investigator and former MP,
he treats abduction cases like crime scenes. By the early 1980s,
he’d begun assembling his groundbreaking collection of alleged
alien implants; in 1995, he organized the first public extractions and
subsequent analysis of more alleged alien artifacts. Other landmark
cases include the 1992 Double Mass Abduction, and his discovery
of sub-dermal alien fluorescence. Trace evidence such as this are
currently undergoing DNA testing. Sims’ scientific and academic
“Dream Team” of consultants includes 2 Cardio Vascular Surgeons,
a Brain Surgeon, 4 Md.’s, and a criminal forensic scientist from a
major university and an ultra-tech specialist, currently conducting a
2-year study on Sims’ implant samples. This work is a culmination
of 24 surgeries to date from the 1980′s, to the latest one, in Flint,
Michigan, last month.
Sims’ hundreds of case files give him a unique view of the
relationship between alien and prey, and he is a sought-after
consultant to mental health professionals worldwide. His numerous
hypnotherapy certifications include one in hypnotic anesthesiology.
Sims is also a compassionate and skilled therapist with many
certifications, including Master Hypnotherapist and Certified Medical
Hypnotic Therapist. He has helped hundreds of alien experiencers
all over the world come to terms with what they’ve witnessed. A
frequent media guest, he is currently co-starring in the Discovery
network TV series, “Uncovering Aliens.”

He’s authored two books, “Alien Hunter: The Evidence in Light” and
“Alien Hunter: Evidence and Truth about Alien Implants”.
Yvonne Smith
Yvonne Smith began life normally
enough: was mascot for her high school
football team and that same year was
asked to be a participant on the notional
t.v. “Dating Game’ program. She moved
on to be in charge of the jury room for the
busiest courthouse in the United States
in Los Angeles…during which time she
attended a lecture by hypnotherapist
pioneer Budd Hopkins.
She then
became hooked by his presentation in
learning that hypnotherapy was such a useful tool in helping people
suffering from PTSD.
Smith therefore began researching the UFO phenomenon in the
late 1980s. After 2 years of studies and 1000 hours of internship a
California Hypnosis Motivation Institute, the only accredited hypnosis
college in the United States, she received her hypnotherapy
certification in 1990. Specializing in cases of post-traumatic stress
disorder, she uses her hypnotherapy skills to assist such victims to
work through their anxiety, with many of her subjects referred to her
by physicians and psychiatrists who believe Smith’s expertise can
benefit their patients. In fact, many such patients are themselves
doctors, university professors, military, engineers, lawyers, domestic
and foreign pilots other professionals and many non-professionals,
sometimes flying from other countries to meet with Smith in Los
Angeles.
In UFO circles, whenever there is a reported sighting, UFO
investigators emphasize and evaluate whether the experiencers
description supports, or not, the reality of a UFO contact. However,
the emphasis of recognized regressive hypnotherapy expert Yvonne
Smith concerns the too frequently ignored emotional trauma on the
experiencer of their encounter.
Because Smith (who is internationally known in UFO circles as simply
“hypnotherapist Yvonne”) observed that many of the PTSD cases
being referred to her involved subjects describing similar patterns
of UFO abduction encounters, she founded Close Encounters
Resource Organization [CERO] as a monthly-meeting support
group for such individuals in 1992. She was also on the board of the
Organization for Paranormal Understanding and Support (OPUS)
which furthers support for such subjects. As the foremost female
hypnotherapist in this field, in the 1990s Yvonne traveled on a lecture
tour with hypnotherapy colleagues the late Dr. John Mack of Harvard
and pioneer Budd Hopkins, and also David Jacobs, PhD. of Temple
University.
Yvonne is the author of CHOSEN: Recollections of UFO Abductions
Through Hypnotherapy, which exposes, with dramatic regressive
hypnotherapy transcripts, the hidden memory trauma reality suffered
by abductees.
Budd Hopkins and Yvonne are the subjects of the DVD, Alien
Hybrids & Clinical Hypnotherapy, which is volume 1 from the Secrets
of the Underground series. For more information about CHOSEN,
visit www.YSmith.com ABOUT “CHOSEN: Recollections of UFO
Abductions Through Hypnotherapy” In CHOSEN Yvonne Smith,
a certified hypnotherapist specializing in the use of hypnotherapy
to assist those who suffer post-traumatic stress as a result of “close
encounters” reveals the trauma of such individual’s experiences.
Such abductees’ experiences are more realistically described in
CHOSEN than in previous publications due to many dramatic,
unedited transcripts of subjects describing their trauma during their
hypnotherapy. In UFO circles, whenever there is a reported “sighting”
UFO investigators emphasize and evaluate whether the experiencer’s
description supports, or not, the reality of a UFO contact. However,
the emphasis of recognized regressive hypnotherapy expert Yvonne
Smith concerns the too frequently ignored trauma on the experiencer
of their encounter.
Different focuses: Typical UFO books about UFO sightings limit
their attention to whether an event supports a UFO encounter.
However, CHOSEN focuses on the emotional trauma caused to the
experiencer .too frequently ignored by investigators. CHOSEN…
focuses uniquely on the effect the encounter has on the experiencer.
CHOSEN…uniquely contains dozens of startlingly candid and
unedited transcripts of subjects’ recollections of alien abductions,
unblocked from hidden memory during regressive hypnotherapy
sessions.
CHOSEN…reveals Yvonne Smith’s skill as a post-traumatic
stress hypnotherapy specialist by probing deeply into her subjects’
subconscious to release them from their trauma. CHOSEN…
provides the reader with information to consider, evaluate and
decide. Autographed copies of CHOSEN may be ordered at

Travis Walton
Travis Walton is the subject of the
Paramount Studios movie, Fire in the
Sky, based on his book of the same
name. On November 5, 1975 a group of
loggers in the mountains of northeastern
Arizona observed a strange, unusually
bright light in the sky. One of the
men, Travis Walton, recklessly left the
safety of their truck to take a closer
look. Suddenly as he walked toward
the light, Walton was blasted back by a
bolt of mysterious energy. His companions fled in fear. When they
reported an encounter with a UFO – something they would have
considered impossible if they had not witnessed it themselves – the
men were suspected of murder. For five days authorities mounted
a massive manhunt in search of Walton – or his body. Then Walton
reappeared, disoriented and initially unable to tell the whole story of
his terrifying encounter. In Fire in the Sky, Walton relates in his own
words the best documented account of alien abduction yet recorded,
the story of his harrowing ordeal at the hands of silent captors, his
return to a disbelieving world of hostile interrogators, exploitative
press, and self-styled debunkers. Travis recounts the struggle to get
a fair hearing, and confronts his detractors with a stinging rebuttal.

Amy LaVere
Amy LaVere was born in Louisiana
and moved around as a GM brat (“Dad
moved around to open factories”),
and the family eventually settled near
Detroit, at least everyone but her
father, who continued to travel for
work. The family structure eventually
gave way. She and her sister
rebelled, and one of the ways Amy
did so was by joining a band at age
14. Rebellion is still a potent theme
for her, and she continues to defy
and test love’s constraints, adding to
the body count of the last album (“Killing Him”) with “Red Banks,” a sly
turn on the blues/country yarn where the girl usually ends up getting it in
the end. In “Damn Love Song,” she finally writes the love song that her
lover has longed for, but it’s practically spit at him as she is walking out
the door. “You Can’t Keep Me” is a insolent pop song that warns that she
won’t be held captive in her relationship as a building cacophony of horns
and Theremin joyously celebrate her imminent freedom.
Homegrown Boyz
An up coming band that is well
known around the southwest

Alien Warrior Comedian
From Planet Satiri IV, Alien Warrior Comedian
(The Interloper) is one of the most unique
and remarkable acts emerging in the StandUp circuit.
After scaring the judges on
NBC’s Last Comic Standing he was invited
by the producers to come back for two more
episodes. In 2011 he surprised the comedy
world; reaching the semi-finals in “The World
Series of Comedy” and finishing in the top eight of 285, and again in 2013
as a semi-finalist in the “Riviera Comedy Competition” Search for the
Next Vegas Headliner. The Interloper has travelled across the country
performing in Comedy Clubs and hosting events for Sci-Fi and Comic
Book Conventions, expos and charity events. His ignorance is hysterical
and alarming. Politics, human relationships, indigenous behavior
patterns, and Earthly philosophy are all topics
for study and scrutiny. Audiences beware; this
is a fully interactive comedian who thrives on
improvisation.
Obediah Thomas
Obediah Thomas has 20 years experience
as a professional comic and juggler. He is also
a skilled trumpet player and vocalist with a
BA degree from the Cincinnati Conservatory
of Music. Obediah has also performed
internationally from Hong Kong to Chicago and has been an opening act
from Kiss to Tony Bennett. He was a frequent
guest-performing artist on the Bozo’s Super Sunday television show.
Obediah will be stilt-walking, juggling and more, all while involving and
entertaining a crowd!
Hot Mess Circus Productions
Part of the Texas and worldwide circus communities, this is a collection
of entertainers, jugglers, spinners, aerialists, dancers, models, and
general circus folk that often find themselves performing together. Hot
Mess Circus Productions is less of a production company and more
of a production in and of itself. In our day-to-day life, in our business
endeavors and in our recreational efforts... we inevitably find ourselves
jugging with or dancing around one another. There is a gravity that
draws us all together and in that space of chemistry, a bodily artistic
performance always blooms and flourishes.
Austin Bike Zoo
The Austin Bike Zoo was born as a collaboration
of collective imagination between bike-builders,
puppet-makers, and performers while fostered
by the creative and supportive environment of
Austin, Texas.
The Austin Bike Zoo presents a magical show
for people of all ages, thrill seekers, corporate
clients and ready made for festivals.
