hundred and twenty-five years ago to the dry desert frontier; where anyone could make their fortune; where the gun rules; and where blood and money were synonymous. Let the Brazos Banditos take you there. (With a few exceptions of course: None of us are over a hundred years old, except maybe Coyote, but I think he is just pushing 90. The dry desert frontier is definitely not the Brazos Valley. We haven’t made our fortune yet, regrettably. Why else do you think we keep coming up with hair-brained schemes? What about blood? Well, that is just nasty. We prefer money. So if you can accept these exceptions, please read on!).

The Brazos Banditos are a group of old west re-enactors that prefer not to be called re-enactors because they really don’t re-enact anything. (With a few exceptions of course: We really like to tell about how we screw up everything. Like the time we ran into Blind Jeb. Oh, and that one time in San Juan…). Instead, we prefer the term “wild west performers”. We may not have a big show like old Buffalo Bill, but we know how to have fun. With characters that range from the dirty, mean, good-for-nothing gunslinger, to the lovely but naughty lady rustlers, we have the fuse to set off powder kegs full of laughs. We have gun-spinning action, bullwhip-cracking; ladies that are guaranteed to make an old Mexicano like me blush; and the tallest tales to make you buck with laughter.

So you’ve seen the old guys at the rodeo who have a story-line similar to this:

“Hey you, let’s fight!”

“Them’s fightin’ word’s!”

BLAM BLAM BLAM!!!

Intriguing story huh? We don’t think so either… What makes us different? Well I’m glad you asked. The Brazos Banditos are not a group of older men re-living the glory days (with a few exceptions of course…ok, I’ll knock it off). Most of our actors are under 25. This means we have young enthusiastic actors that can roll with the punch-lines, and aren’t bad to look at either (especially our ladies). We make an effort to painstakingly represent the attire of persons living circa 1875-1890. Our costumes are authentic, and you won’t find a group like ours with this much detail. Because we are trained actors, our skits and short plays are comical, and are more interesting than other similar groups whose story-lines usually involve a few words and lots of shots going off.

In addition to comic skits, we offer gun-spinning, bull-whip cracking, and campfire singing. We can cater to your needs for any event. We can just show up and look pretty (or ugly), or we can put on a full show and entertain your guests. We can put on a show for an adult crowd, or cater to small children at your school. We love to explain our costumes and give a bit of history for everything that we have painstakingly researched ourselves. We can embarrass your VIP, or remain completely non-invasive. Our prices are extremely reasonable (that is kind of like saying, “extra medium” isn’t it?). Please give us a call with any questions you may have. We truly enjoy our work (you call this work?), and it shows.
