If someone called you a flaming idiot, you¹d be ticked off, right? Well, Rob Williams, Jon O¹Connor and Kevin Hunt, a.k.a. Gyro, Pyro and Walter, embrace the moniker. In fact, that¹s what they call their zany juggling act. The Flaming Idiots are likely the only folks around who include a performer (Pyro) who can make a bologna sandwich with his bare feet. Any one of them may drop a prop, or miss a pass, on purpose, just to catch the audience off-guard.
Dressed in oversized pants, goofy shoes and colorful clothes, this trio looks like a bunch of clowns. Don¹t be fooled -- The Flaming Idiots are accomplished at what they do. They can juggle four big knives, a couple of red peppers and a beanbag chair all at once; balance bikes on their noses; or swallow inflated balloons. Audience members are invited to become part of the madcap antics, but watch out, you may find yourself in the midst of a hail of flying hatchets.
The Flaming Idiots, Fri., Feb. 7, 7:30 p.m. and Sat., Feb. 8, 2:30 and 7:30 p.m., $27-$37, The Kimmel Center, 260 S. Broad St., 215-893-1999.
