Show Notes
Dave Dixon has been a festival staple for many years, performing his very bawdy show as Friar Finnigan. In our episode, he talks about the early days of some of the longest running festivals, including Georgia, Ohio as well as every single small renaissance faire in between! He and our host Jonathan (Wyld Men and Theatre in the Ground) discuss renaissance festivals and the joys of theatre on the street.
