“Techutainment at its finest. My brain tingled from all the visual treats and my belly ached from all the laughing. This show does a great job of blending entertainment and technology into one ball of fun”
-Samantha Kimsey(CEO/Founder of Computational Thinkers)
“I think that Dr.Dodgy’s intergalactic show was funny, cool and awesome. I think it was very smart to use iPhones to see everything like asteroids rocket ships and even hear cool alien sounds.”
-Kamalu (age 9)
“I don't know how much farther you can take a street juggling act! Not only are you suspending balls & orbs in the air defying the power of gravity (& doing it superbly!) but NOW you've added hovering mechanisms & space crafts that actually fly at the audience!Oh it's a BIG SHOW for a Dodgy juggling maniac! See it.”
-Jeff Gere (Author, Storyteller, Puppeteer)
"We had the pleasure of having Andrew Towl as a guest on an episode of Design Talk Hawaii dedicated to the Oahu Fringe Festival. I was fascinated by his project “Dr. Dodgy’s Intergalactic Auto-Mechanical Circus”and had the opportunity to attend one of his performances during the festival. What a delight! As a lifelong theatre professional, I must admit to being a little wary of the involvement of mobile devices during a live performance. But in this particular case it was a fascinating enhancement of the interactive performance. Andrew is an inventive and charming performer. And while his juggling skills and stage persona are wonderfully entertaining in their own right, the addition of a 3-Dimensional augmented reality experience literally takes the show to new dimensions! I highly recommend you purchase a ticket, download the app, and pack your bags/phone for a colorful, vibrant, lively adventure worthy of Jules Verne!”

In 2018 we flew to San Francisco from O'ahu to participate in AT&T's Beyond Reality Hackathon with Magic Leap and had a blast working out a protoype of the show with the Magic Leap One headset. We were honored to take 2nd place.
