    Arty Dodger Bio:
    A small town boy with Southern charm, Arty Dodger has spent years honing his craft of the art of juggling and balance. With the influences of early vaudeville and variety performers, Arty boasts a wide repertoire, including stilt walking, fire eating and hat, cane, and cigar manipulation as well as high energy juggling with fire, knives, and any other inanimate juggling objects. Arty Dodger is a dangerously sophisticated Southern gentleman juggler. A native to the stage, his ability for variety lends itself to adaptability in performing including sideshows, Burlesque halls, variety shows, festivals, carnivals, corporate functions, and any other juggling buffooneries that beseech him. Arty Dodger is also emcee for the neo-burlesque troupe Bon Temps Burlesque in Shreveport, LA. A dapper dabbler in danger, a virtuoso of vaudeville, the Beethoven of balance, a juggernaut of juggle, and devourer incendium.
