Gregory Popovich, a native of Kiev, Ukraine, is an alumnus of the Great Moscow Circus and the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, a trained clown, and a world record-setting juggler. His captivating act features over 30 furry or feathered members, all rescued from animal shelters—dogs, cats, ferrets, white mice, geese, doves, and even a parrot. The interaction between animals and humans reflects trust, respect, care, and friendship. With world-class juggling, gymnastics, and balancing acts, this stage production is fun for all ages! Voted “Best Family Show” in Las Vegas and a finalist on America’s Got Talent, Popovich Comedy Pet Theater has captivated audiences in more than 20 countries, and now makes a long awaited return to McCallum as part of The Field Trip Series.
“Popovich is one of the world’s greatest physical comedians.”
— The New Yorker
“Comedy Pet Theater is like a Cirque show with animals.”
— USA Today
“If his message gets across, someone will go home from the show with his book or video about how to train and love a cat, and head toward the nearest shelter.”
— Kim Palchikoff, The New York Times
