He has been called "delightfully funny," "a riot of belly laugh activity," "specialty act of the year" and an "artistic cyclone of talent and comedy" by the press.
Laughlin Entertainer Magazine has described his show as "something of a cross between Chris Farley and Eddie Izzard; Lowell hits audiences over the head with his wit, creative comedy and trunks full of eclectic props. His show is unique, refreshing and original. A carnival ride with surprising dips and turns."
Lowell combines his talents as a comedian with juggling stunts, props and original magic in his performance.
In the show, Lowell will juggle, perform feats of magic and incorporate razor-sharp adlibs, as well as quirky inventions.
