Manis O'Tool & His Imperial Tibetan Yak Show

“Manis O’Toole is a true ‘Renaissance man’. He’s a comedian, strolling minstrel, and an accomplished yak trainer – he’s also a bit of a dimwitted thief, so hang on to your purse.


You’ll see him on stage performing the ‘Manis O’Toole and his Imperial Tibetan yak show’. Please note that on the very rare occasion that his yak (Clark) goes missing right before the big show, Manus will be forced to improvise – fortunately he’s got hilarious stories a bit of audience participation and maybe even some fire that he can pull out of his sleeve in a pinch… Enjoy the show – but again, keep an eye on your stuff.”
