Who said old people can’t
have fun?
In his comedy stilt and variety show, THE OLD GUY, Rob Lok
introduces a mischievous octogenarian that has aged quite gracefully
with a steady diet of
cartoons and energy drinks.
With a daring mix of slapstick stunts and dynamic circus skills, this quirky
old fool plays with his
eccentric collection of toys and rediscovers his youth with each new
find.
Never out to shame people, THE OLD GUY comically interacts with his
audience, often inviting them
to help him drive the show forward.
