Charlie Frye & Company celebrate America’s vaudeville heritage by blending exceptional skills with a genuine passion for their craft, creating a performance that is both classic and refreshingly innovative. For over two decades, Charlie and his wife Sherry have captivated audiences globally with their unique mix of silent comedy, magic, juggling, slapstick, and acrobatics. Charlie is often likened to legendary comedians like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, portraying a rubber-faced juggler/magician, while Sherry plays his elegantly disinterested assistant. Their performances have enchanted audiences in Australia, Africa, Europe, and Asia, often leading to return engagements and appearances for esteemed audiences, including the Royal Family of Monaco and the Sultan of Malaysia. Recognized as one of the most sought-after specialty acts, they were honored as Las Vegas’ Specialty Act of the Year during their star-studded run in the Folies Bergere. Their impressive resume includes opening for Liza Minnelli, starring in the internationally acclaimed television special “The World’s Top Shows,” and a notable role in Tom Hanks’ film “That Thing You Do.” Charlie’s journey began with dreams of becoming Batman, but he followed in the footsteps of his clowning father and grandfather. After joining the circus, he met Sherry, a talented showgirl, aerialist, and ballerina, who left her classical training behind to partner with Charlie, who was inspired by the legendary clown Lou Jacobs to carve his own path in the world of entertainment.
