The year was 1985, and Ned Kelly had a problem. He and some of his
little juggler friends had booked a weekend to perform at the Valencia Rose nightclub in San Francisco. But
soon the others announced to Ned they had other plans, and he was left to wonder how he would ever pull off
a full evening show by himself. I know what you're thinking--this story is already so charged with tension
and high drama, someone should sell the treatment to Hollywood. But wait, it gets better. Ned made a
quick call to his reliable friends. There was Jeff Walker, fine artist and juggler extraordinaire. And
there were the gentlemen of Laughing Moon Theatre, Bob Venezia and Bliss Kolb. Of course Ned's true
friends rose to the occasion, and the four quickly collaborated on an evening of circus skills, fine art, and
comedy that has rarely been equalled. They called their first show (and their group)
Aesthet-O-Rama and it was a tremendous hit. Over the next two years the men of Aesthet-O-Rama
sent shockwaves through the entertainment world with two more hit shows: Art for the Millions and
The Passion of Shecky. |
