Slapstick and physical humor abound in this child-friendly show of clown antics.

From the Aga-Boom website:

Rooted in the unique European theatrical style and universal language of clowning, Aga-Boom cuts through the barriers of language and culture with the art of slapstick, the humor of physical comedy and the delighted excitement of childhood.

Aga-Boom is an interactive mayhem that carries audiences to the other side of the funhouse mirror, with outrageous zaniness and unrestrained laughter. This 75-minute explosion of pure family fun, for children and adults alike is high energy, and nothing you have ever seen before.

Created by veteran of Cirque Du Soleil Dimitri Bogatirev , Aga-Boom was nominated for the Ovation Award , in the category of best touring show, along with The Producers, 42nd Street, Lily Tomlin and Elaine Stritch.

Reviews:
"Aga-boom fills the theater with flying wads and flakes of paper, laughter, whoops and screams of children and adults alike. Masterly clowning with its own originality... Pure family fun... In Iryna Ivanytska as the lead clown, Boom, has a clown of extraordinary talent, expressive from the top of her wild pale wig to the red shag toes of her oversize slippers."
- New York Times

"The grand finale come closer to being literally riotous- as in so funny that the audience did more than just laugh- than any theatrical experience within memory... The kids in the audience were on cloud nine, but hardly more so than the adults."

Description:
Country comedian Rodney Carrington will be performing a limited engagement at MGM Grand. His act crosses the genres of music performance and stand-up comedy, and his songs have become crossover hits to gain airplay on both country and rock stations.

From Rodney's website:

Rodney broke through with his major label debut "Hangin' With Rodney" in 1998. The album, which featured fan favorite songs "Letter to My Penis" and "Fred," sold more than 475,000 copies and established Rodney, with his trademark black cowboy hat, boots, and Texas twang, as the king of middle class comedy.

The next few years saw four more Top 10 albums: "Live", "Morning Wood", "Nutsack" and "Greatest Hits", all of which continue to receive major radio airplay on both country and rock formats. "Greatest Hits," a double CD, earned a RIAA certified Gold Record and is well on its way to Platinum. His major network comedy, "Rodney," ran on ABC from 2004-2006.
