Mr. & Mrs. G – Crossbow Stunts
I was fortunate to meet these two adorable performers at The Bindlestiff Open Stage last week. They were standing amongst a crowd of performers all of whom I knew. But I didn’t know them. So I introduced myself and we had a great conversation and arranged a time to do this wonderful interview.
Now I have to see their act ‘in person’. Hopefully, we will cross paths again soon.
MR. & MRS. G. a.k.a. Ottavio Gesmundo & Naomi Brenkman-Gesmundo are professionals with extensive performing credits that include The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, The Britney Spears Circus Tour (opening video segment), Spider-Man Live! At Radio City Music Hall & National Tour, Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde, Paris Television Show and the First International Company of Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida Musical in The Netherlands.
They are performing currently in The Box.
