Dr. Professor Alonzo Nonnamis – Miracle Man
They came from far and wide,
and with enormous expectations.
He wasn’t about to let them down…
“Ladies and Gentlemen, I shall now
stop the rotation of the Earth
for three full seconds!”
The one and only Dr. Professor Nonnamis is a comic genius, virtuoso vaudevillian, and all-round charmer who gives audiences an utterly joyous experience they’ll remember for a lifetime.
His latest creation is a rip-roaring revival of strong-man stunts, couples-counseling, snake-healings, and mass-hypnosis that leaves audiences dazed, beaming and in love with life once again…
“Masterfully played comedy…That secret mixture of daring, talent, and utter foolishness…”
Santa Fe Reporter
“Hilarious and enormously talented.”
TimeOut, London
“The audience sits transfixed, gleefully awaiting each new moment of mad brilliance.”
Badische Zeitung, Germany
“Absolutely expert and consistently charming!”
The New York Times
