They've performed on Broadway and the Today Show as well as in theaters around the nation. The KamiKaze FireFlies are a Los Angeles based tw0-person vaudeville smack-down featuring Rob Williams (formerly of the renowned comedy troupe The Flaming Idiots) and Casey Martin (formerly of the acrobatic show Barely Balanced).
As Rob and Casey explain, "We are all about play... playing well with others, playing with words, playing with big toys." Whether spinning gigantic metal cubes, juggling clubs, stilt-walking, breathing fire, breaking into contortionist back bends, or simply making a sandwich using only their feet, the KamiKaze FireFlies performances incite awe and laughter for kids ages 3 to 93.
