Circus Without Animals on the 'Tonight Show' This Thursday
Wednesday, 29 July 2009  |  Tonya Kay | Blog Entry

Jack Dagger and Tonya Kay Knife Throw photo by Alexis WiliamsonHi, my Clean and Green Everyday readers! I won't be posting a full blog entry this week, but still wanted to write to invite you to watch me on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien this Thursday, July 30th, at 11:30pm on NBC!

Cirque du Soliel spawned a circus revival when it hit the Vegas strip—aerialists, hand balancers, acrobats and clowns now populate not only the big top but music concerts, MTV videos and commercials as well. Yet a circus is authentic only if we are dazzled by a death-defying knife-throwing act. Jack Dagger and I keep this original circus art alive and will be doing so this Thursday on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien!  

It's extra special to see a real knife-thrower perform. In this regard, Jack Dagger is truly one of a kind. And to top off this rare performance on NBC, Jack Dagger and I will be performing our deadly "Cucumber Cut." After Jack throws knives with Conan, he will slice a cucumber in half off of my arm (hopefully without injuring me in the process) as the grand finale. This stunt is something you won't see on the Vegas strip.

As you might remember, only two weeks ago I was featured on Showtime's Live Nude Comedy, cracking a flower out of my shaking assistant's mouth with my 5-foot bullwhip. The danger and thrills just don't stop! Support your favorite cruelty-free/non-animal circus act and watch Jack Dagger and me this Thursday!

Eco Tip

Lower your thermostat temperature in winter and raise it in summer. In winter, set your thermostat to 68 degrees or less during the day (and wear a sweater) and 55 degrees or less at night (and add an extra blanket). Wear less or use a fan instead of air-conditioning on all but the hottest summer days. When you must use air-conditioning, set your thermostat to 78 degrees or more.  More tips...
