Flying Funny – My Life without a Net

Quick, what do you think when I say the name Dudley Riggs?  Improvisational theater comes to mind for every Minnesotan at the very least!  In his memoir, “Flying Funny – My Life without a Net”, Dudley takes us on his journey running FROM the Circus as he created, what became, Dudley Riggs Brave New Workshop.  The octogenarian regales with tales of flying trapeze parents, a doting grandmother and pulling a “John Robinson” from bible-thumping preachers set on pushing out the “evil” circus people.  It’s a fascinating slice of Americana and funny too!
