'Danger Committee' in Dawson

DAWSON -- Dawson-Boyd Arts Association presents "The Danger Committee" at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Auditorium in Dawson.

The Minneapolis based "The Danger Committee," consists of Jason LeMay, Mick Lunzer and Caleb McEwen. They display "an incredible combination of talents" that include juggling, knife throwing and comedy.

They are well known in Minnesota as annual performers at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival and recently appeared on NBC's "America's Got Talent" competition. They were called to audition as a variety act and advanced to the New York and Las Vegas rounds. Their website, www.thedangercommittee.com, has clips of their performances and interaction with the celebrity judges. Understandably, their appearance on the show created increased national demand for their act.

Why are they called "The Danger Committee?" They juggle knives and flaming clubs. They continually add more complicated, dangerous feats to their act. For example, part of their act includes the "Wheel of Death." One of the men spins on this wooden wheel while another throws knives at various targets on the wheel.
