There is
a saying in showbiz that goes something along the lines of “never share the
stage or screen with animals or children.” Well someone did not pass this along
to Mr. Gregory Popovich star of the World Famous Popovich Pet Comedy Theater,
because he shares his stage with both dogs and cats alike! All of his animals
are rescues that would have otherwise faced an unknown future. Now they are
stars on the stage and they delight audiences worldwide and here in Las Vegas. Popovich’s
animal skills are so admired that he has appeared on The Tonight Show and David
Letterman.
The show
opens with Popovich joining the circus! While
in the circus he performs amazing feats of juggling and balancing. Imagine if
you were standing around eight feet away and three men were each throwing plates
at you and you had to catch them all at once. Well Popovich does and he does it
well! If you can think of a cross between Charlie Chaplin and a circus
ringmaster that will give you a good glimpse into the character of Popovich. Self-deprecating
along with an air of silliness he charms the children in the audience and has
them smiling as he and his furry friends perform their acts.
The school
number is a wonder in training! Popovich has eight-ten dogs sitting at their
desks, yes their desks as he teaches them arithmetic along with other school subjects!
Of course there is always a class clown and this one just happens to be furry. Not
once do the dogs move from their desks and they come up to the chalkboard! This
class is full of poodles, a retriever and other mixes! Sweet and an amazing
feat of training!
Also sharing
the stage are felines. Yes he can train cats! That in itself is amazing! They
all file onto stage and obey Popovich’s instructions, will not give away the
act but it is absolutely entertaining and will most likely have you looking at
your cat a little differently.
The show
runs 75 minutes so the kids never get restless. Oh and did I mention that there
are trained geese and a parrot? This is a great family fun show that will leave
a smile on both children’s and adults faces alike.
