Stories from the Pitch is a Podcast dedicated to creating a living oral history about street performing and some of the crazy characters who populate this world.
In this episode Al Millar sat down with Kenny Lightfoot to talk about his nearly 40 year career as a street performer starting out doing shows in San Francisco at age 21. If you’ve never seen or met him, Kenny has one of the most unique magic shows on the streets and a finale that you can watch over, and over, and over. He and Al get into some specifics about many of the pitches he’s worked especially in the US, Australia and New Zealand, and they talk about his approach to street performing and building a show. He shares stories about working Pearl Street in Boulder starting back in the 90’s and runs through many of the performers that worked the pitch and talks about how that is where he came up with his very unique finale, throwing a playing card on the roof of a building. He has definitely put his time in on the street, working up from sleeping on a bench, to his car, to a weekly hotel to traveling the world.
