The Wild West gets wacky when the ShenaniGuns! Comedy Wild West Show performs. ShenaniGuns! is a slapstick, send-up of the Old West featuring the antics of Sheriff Hoppalong Casually and Deputy Leon P. Jones. They face off against a pair of dimwit desperadoes named Bad Bob and Bubba Bob. Set in front of a custom-built Wild West town, the show includes an off-the-wall combination of cornball comedy, special effects and audience participation. Even though the cast of cowboys are dressed in authentic old west duds, and may look like time travelers from Tombstone, “ShenaniGuns!” isn’t exactly like stepping into the past.
