  • Astounding Carl Asch: Part 3
    May 8 2024

    A rare instance where the entire Asch / Carinci tribe are recorded together. Jonathan Crocker interviews the family; Carl, his son Caleb Carinci Asch and Caleb’s mother Ciara Carinci, in our final instalment of the Carl Asch saga.

    Carl Asch, who performs at Renaissance Festivals as Giacomo the Jester in Tip the Velvet, Ooops! Comedy Knife Throwing Show and Empty Hats. Interviewed by Jonathan Crocker.

    Hailing from New Jersey, Carl Asch has studied classical guitar at The American Institute of Guitar, Languages at SUNY-New Paltz, and the art of street and stage performance by travelling the world with nothing more than a guitar and a set of juggling clubs. He has performed at the Sterling Renaissance Festival, Hoggetowne, Ohio Renaissance Festival, Tennessee Renaissance Festival and many more.

    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.
