Shawn Gregory - Stiltwalker/Magic & Variety
Whether high above the ground on his stilts or performing his hilarious magic show for all ages, Shawn Gregory is one of the most versatile entertainers on fairgrounds across the United States and Canada.

On stilts, Shawn will appear in a variety of costumes and has the personality to match each of his character; from Uncle Sam to his farmer, Bob Little.  Or his cowboy, Slim Little, or his Jester character - along with many more, Shawn will delight and entertain from 9 feet in the air with his comedy, magic, juggling, and balloon making skills.
