New Show On Deck (Pun Intended)

Posted on August 26, 2022 by Ron Giesecke

November 1st marks the first, no-holds-barred re-emergence to the stage for me since the Spring of 2021. The last set of shows I had, it was 113-degrees, the black-box theater had an exclusive hold on swamp-cooling, and the infernal roar … Continue reading →

Looking for People Still Looking For Erdnase

Posted on August 25, 2022 by Ron Giesecke

One thing I’ve learned over the years is, that if the inclination ever comes upon you to start pontificating and verifying a new theory in a long-held-and-ever-so-precious set of legendary beliefs, one can also expect a level of blowback. Gallielo … Continue reading →

Magic for Libraries, Lockdowns, and Just because

Posted on July 16, 2020 by Ron Giesecke

Local Celebrity Status: Moderate

Posted on February 24, 2016 by Ron Giesecke

VIDEO: One routine from my show

Posted on December 21, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

With Apologies To Dickens

Posted on October 16, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

In 2002, I published what is to date, my only book.  Don’t get excited, I didn’t get all hyfie in the ISBN numbering anteroom, I just self-published. I could tell you all about that 22-page manuscript, that, while not some … Continue reading →

Posted on May 28, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

I get it.I have a face made for radio. I also have no explanation for what kind of spastic, contortive facial-flap I do at :40.  Just move along and try not to be distracted by Captain Visage:
