Comments: This week Robert catches up Joe Cobden for a great exchange. At nine years old, Joe experienced all 17 days of the 1988 Halifax Busker’s Festival and determined that he too would become a busker. Two year’s later he hit the budding Canadian festival circuit as “Little Joe.” For years he toured with the heros he first met in Halifax – before heading to theatre school and eventually dialing into a successful career in Film and Television. His memories of the street scene are still some of the happiest of his life as you will hear.

Comments: This week Robert connects with as he calls him “another one of those pole acts.” Al made an 18 dollar hat on his first solo show in Sydney, Australia and he’s been hooked ever since. A relentless drive, natural charm and devilish good looks quickly lead to invitations from producers around the world. Al says he never planned to be a street performer, that like so many other act this lifestyle chose him, and we’re glad it did.

Lee Ross’s blend of physical, verbal and projected comedy made him one of the loudest and funniest mime’s on the planet.
