Muttville Comix
A Canine Comedy Show

2003 Animal Planet Pet Star Winners

The Muttville Canine Comedy Dog Show is this year's new show that will be held on the main stage at the Game Farm's 500-seat amphitheater.

Sit! Stay! Get ready to howl! Johnny Peers and his personality-plus canines are coming to tickle your funny bone!

The show stars Johnny Peers, a former professional clown with Ringling Bros. and the Barnum & Bailey Circus, and his 15 dogs, most of which have been rescued from shelters. During the show, Mr. Peers and his canine crew will perform a variety of tricks, such as jumping rope, ladder climbing, tightrope walking and skateboarding. The winner of Animal Planet’s Pet Star Television Show in 2003, Muttville Comix has performed at numerous venues, including the White House and Disneyland.

A Ringling Brothers Clown College graduate, Johnny Peers has been working with dogs since he got his first puppy, Freckles, a Beagle mix, from the Humane Society in 1972. Since their 1980 debut, the Muttville Comix have appeared on David Letterman, Primetime Live and Circus of the Stars, and at Disneyland, Busch Gardens, the Big Apple Circus, the Royal Hanneford Circus, even The White House!

A show for the whole family and the dog lover in all of us, the show stars mostly dogs rescued from shelters or pounds, like Daphne, the world’s only skateboarding Basset Hound; Squeaky, the ladder climbing Fox Terrier; Mr. Pepe, who only responds to commands in Spanish; and Sir Winston, the Pointer mix who only answers to “Sir.” The Providence Journal-Bulletin calls the show, “…a truly funny, slapstick dog act.”

“We are excited about hosting Johnny Peers and his ‘muttley’ crew. This is a show that the whole family will enjoy. It is entertaining and touching, and a treat for all animal lovers,” said Melinda Novak, Co-Owner and Vice President, Long Island Game Farm.
