SHOW DESCRIPTION
         Geared for adults, the Jonny O Show is a fantastically fun adventure/ creative examination of how our inner primal rhythms can be channeled to better our daily activities. "Rhythm is infectious, and those that understand it are primed to succeed in life," says Jonny Olsen, aka Jonny O. Armed with a fortress of drums, percussion, flashy lights and artistic props, Jonny performs an amazing 60 minute rhythmical/comedy show that will knock your socks off, making your soul come alive and bring forth a belly full of laughs.
         Participants learn the importance of rhythm in music and life and will heartily laugh along to Jonny's fabulously funny, yet clean comedy. For situations where volume is a concern, Jonny uses his electronic drums rather than his acoustic drums so that the volume can be easily regulated. On the flipside, to beef up the volume and the Wow factor, Jonny can be joined by additional musicians.
