Zoltan The Adequate

The Renaissance Faire was so fun, and we hit it on the only really fine day this weekend. They had four or five stages going all the time, and a storyteller's nook under a tree. There was always something interesting happening. The first show we were drawn into was the Magician's show, Zoltan The Adequate. After each trick, he would ask the audience: "Was that not brilliant, Was that not amazing?" and the audience's line was: "NO! JUST ADEQUATE!"

Here he's trying to get out of the manacles that the young lady padlocked on his wrists. (took him quite a while)

Here he's doing a card trick. It was hilarious, and he never did guess which card was drawn. In fact, he kept guessing every once in awhile as the show progressed. He also did fire-eating. He said it was kerosene, but I kept thinking that Vodka would be better, all around.

The sherriff of Nottingham ran a game show, the Lord and Lady against the villeins. One question: What are animals that are found on the farm? One answer: Peasants.
(Now, is it just me, or does he have a passing resemblance to someone we know?)

And then there was The Popra Show. X-rated, they kept having to ask the people with kids to take them elsewhere. The "Pope" was inclined to lustfulness; and with a "cardinal" who was flaming gay (he wore fuscia lace trimmed bloomers - don't ask) they took the stage with a "dedicated curser" pulled from the audience. *hilarious*
