Sit yourself down, and prepare to be entertained! Bert Davis, the Coppertown Clown is coming to the Burke Stampede Rodeo on July 17th, 18th and 19th at the Burke Arena in Burke, SD! He’s armed with a wacky sense of humor and a wonderfully trained group of dogs and performing in front of a large rodeo crowd is ‘old hat’ for this veteran entertainer, rodeo clown, barrelman and specialty act. His stage is a rodeo arena and his cast of players bark and howl; his quick wit, award winning comedy routines and ability to interact with a crowd offers up the promise of tear rolling laughter for his audiences.
Bert Davis, often dubbed the “Clown with all the Dogs” reached the third round in the TV show: America’s Got Talent (2010); they were the only animal act to make it to Las Vegas. Known as the “Muttley Crew” this act features 10 rescue dogs, adopted by Bert and his wife, Frannie, all of whom are superbly trained tricksters. His great dogs were recognized by National Geographic in 2002 in a television documentary titled: “Dogs with Jobs”, and Bert has appeared in numerous PBR telecasts and the CMT documentary: “Stomped and Gored”, plus a variety of other television features.
While Davis is a courageous and hilarious performer; it is his numerous dogs that truly endear him to the spectators. Those sidekicks, with their high energy antics make Bert, the Coppertown Clown, one of the best and most-traveled animal specialty acts in the industry. They have gained international notoriety by performing in five provinces of Canada, 41 different States and in Australia.
Not much can throw a funnyman who has faced rampageous bulls on a daily basis for the past 38 years. What keeps this extremely courageous and hilariously talented performer going those thousands of miles, year in and year out? Well, it comes from the heart&ldots; Garth Brooks sings “It’s the roar of the Sunday crowd” in Rodeo. But for Bert Davis, the Coppertown Clown, it is the roar of any crowd.
