Seattle’s Funniest Brings Comedy to Heron

Get ready to laugh when two-time Guinness World Record holder Alex Zerbe, voted Seattle’s Funniest Prop Comic, launches VAA’s 2011-12 Family Series into the stratosphere. Add some fun to your Sunday, October 23, 2 pm, at the Blue Heron. Zerbe serves up a full hour of amazing stunts, physical comedy and audience participation in a high energy, all-ages show.

Zerbe has appeared on prime-time television in three countries including America’s Got Talent and Last Comic Standing. World hacky-sack champion, Zerbe is also half of award-winning comedy act, Brothers from Different Mothers.

Offering a variety of mind-blowing maneuvers such as mouth juggling two ping pong balls and harpooning vegetables launched from a giant slingshot, Alex also demonstrates death-defying feats such as chopping celery with a thrown playing card and catching a table on his face. In addition to his risk-taking physical comedy and juggling skills, Zerbe performs beat-boxing, music looping, silly dances and humorous raps.

Actress Jamie Lee Curtis said, "Boy, are you talented, FANTASTIC!"

And curmudgeonly Piers Morgan, of America’s Got Talent, said "You’re hip, funny and well choreographed. You’re the total package!"
