Performing comedy with their animal associates since 1981, husband and wife team Mariah Skinner and Bob Bone (a.k.a. Skin & Bones) have delighted audiences of all ages in circuses, theme parks, fairs, variety shows and special events in most of the United States, in Canada, and in Japan.
Bob and Mariah’s full-length show, Skin & Bones’ Comedy Circus, is great family entertainment, featuring trained dogs and potbellied pigs, juggling, low wire, magic, and plenty of comedy!
Bob received his performance training at Center College in Kentucky, and at Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Clown College in Florida. Mariah trained at the Dell’Arte School of Mime and Comedy, and at the Pacific Conservatory of Performing Arts, both in California. The pups and pigs, hailing from various parts of the country, take primary credit for having trained their humans in the art of zaniness.
