Brian Conley is PT Barnum

Catch Brian Conley on tour in the musical Barnum. Check your local theatre for dates.

I'll always remember a great piece of improvisation from Conley when I saw him in Elton John's Sunglasses many years ago. As he came on stage, the door fell off. He calmly straightened the failed piece of scenery without comment. Then, as he left the stage at the end of his scene ad-libbed, "And get that door fixed!"

The audience rolled up.
