For Hub City Times

SPENCER – Most people have never known anyone who was self-taught to eat fire.  It’s not surprising, though, to learn that creating and doing new things is the motivation that nudges Rob Williams out of bed every morning.  That need to create eventually led Rob to combine talents with acrobat Casey Martin.  Together, they launched Kamikaze Fireflies, a dynamic duo that Howie Mandel has praised as “…dangerous…exciting…funny!”

A special performance of the LuCille Tack Center (LCTC) student-focused Arts Adventure Series will feature the Kamikaze Fireflies. The 60-minute performance of hilarious routines, physical impossibilities, unbelievable situations, and crowd interaction will have audience members from age 7 on up on the edge of their seats with tears of laughter.

The show is a mix of comedy and circus, with juggling, hula hoops, the German wheel, whip cracking, and many tricks never seen before. Highly imaginative and hugely creative, Kamikaze Fireflies offers a live, unique, and intriguing experience that allows its viewers to go beyond the boundaries of their usual electronic environment and into the grand “what if?”

General admission tickets for the Jan. 26 1 p.m. performance may be purchased at the LTCA Box Office Wednesdays and Fridays, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., or at the door.  Tickets for this show are not available online.
