Degy’s refreshed PAC roster features nationally touring entertainers with strong theatrical appeal, audience interaction, and cross-generational reach. The Degy team has worked with each artist to create masterclass sessions and community outreach opportunities to provide additional value and marketing ability to support theatre performances. Each artist listed below includes a direct presenter-friendly hyperlink:
• Jonathan Burns — physical comedian, comedy contortionist, and variety entertainer
• Michael Kent — comedic magician blending satire, storytelling, and modern illusion
• Ivan Pecel — internationally touring juggler and comedy variety performer
• Brice Harney — comedy magician and mentalist known for high-energy performances
• Nick Paul — sleight-of-hand comedy magician with national television and cruise credits
• Kelly Bell Band — award-winning blues fusion and funk rock band

These artists are supported by Degy’s suite of well-established touring concepts and experiential programs, including Headphone Disco, Throwback Time Machine, Back 2 Life, Swift Night, Foam Drop, Roller Rave, UV Glow Party, PaintU, and Boogie Down Broadway – giving theatres innovative ways to attract younger audiences and diversify season programming. While applicable for any age crowd, these concepts offer a unique focus on attracting the Gen Z and Alpha population who are actively looking for engagement in this space.
