TO LAUGH IS TO LIVE! That’s not just the name of Kenny Ahern’s stage show. Those are words to live by and Kenny will do just that. Get ready to laugh, giggle, chortle, guffaw. Gather up the kids and invite Grandma and Grandpa along, too. It’s time to laugh. Grown-ups love him. Kids love him. You will LOVE him! Kenny returns to town with his own stage The Family Variety Theatre!
Yes, he balances a ladder on his chin. Yes, he topples plates and juggles. Yes, he will make you belly laugh. Yes, he has daft skills.
Yes, yes, yes.
He may be a one-man show, but he’s left nothing out. Kenny travels with a grab bag of gags and skills gained from touring our planet and delighting audiences for over three decades.
Ahern's show has been presented at venues throughout the United States and around the world, including Singapore, Russia, Poland, Japan, England, China, Hungary, India and Taiwan.
Ahern has performed at the Wisconsin State Fair, Utah State Fair, Missouri State Fair, Minnesota State Fair, Iowa State Fair, and a plethora of other fairs and festivals throughout the United States. He has toured with Brooks & Dunn, Brad Paisley and Rascal Flatts on the Neon Circus & Wild West Tour and toured with the world famous Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. This comic fellow has made numerous radio and television appearances and even performed at the White House... twice!
It’s Kenny’s wacky world, but you’re invited along for the ride.
“I’m trying to create fun-filled family memories,” Kenny said, and if that means balancing on a rolling ball while he plays the saxophone, or taking a creamy cake to the face, then that’s what he’ll do. He may also invite you on stage where you become Kenny’s partner. And you’ll earn your share of the applause when the show is finished.
“I’m really not a solo act because so many audience members (grown-ups and kids) are invited to come up on stage with me,” Kenny proudly proclaims. “I want my new partners to feel great when they leave the stage. I want them to be the star!”
So grab your chance for a little spotlight, a little starlight and a lot of laughs. You can catch Kenny on his stage The Family Variety Theatre with three-4 shows daily at the 2024 Kansas State Fair, September 6-15.
