Solid work by Aye Jay in giving the audience a glimpse into the Cary and Circus life. Could have possibly used an outside director to give the presentation a bit more focus, but a definite value for the money.
one of the best things I have seen in a long time. bring him back next year
Great personal story--style and behind-the-scenes revelation of carnivel life. Good humor and drama.
Wonderful show with a great personality. Aye Jaye shares his life with warm and wonderful remembrances with a slightly quirky twist.
Don't be a "MARK"! Go to this show!
Paul Green
We even won a stuffed animal and received a balloon bouquet, like a day at the carnival!
Great show.
This was a one-of-a-kind show about a man's journey as a carny. While he reveals some behind the scene secrets that make you realize we've all been ripped off one time or another, it gives back a bountiful gift to the audience. Underneath it all is a heart warming story about life and the people (and elephants!) who make a difference along the way. Aye Jaye takes you in as if you are reliving the moments with him and in the end you feel like you are cheering for a hero arriving at journey's end. Carny Trash makes you rethink any negative perceptions of carnies and allows you to see the humanity that exists in this "traveling culture." Bring everyone you know and go see this gem.
