 The Flying Karamazov Brothers have been "in the biz" since 1973 performing everywhere, from their early days on the streets of San Francisco (the actual streets - not the TV show) to more recent appearances on Broadway; they have trod the stages of the most prestigious theatres in the English-speaking World, from Singapore to Scotland; they've toured through every state in the Union; and they've traveled silver screens, both large and small. In addition to their vaudevillian shows, the OBIE award winning Karamazov's have created and performed in their own adaptations of Dumas' Les Trois Musketeers (The Three Moscowteers) - Goodman Theatre, 1984 - Stravinsky's L'Histoire du Soldat (The Soldier's Tale) - Brooklyn Academy of Music's Next Wave Festival, 1986 - and the aforementioned Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors - Lincoln Center, 1987. Though generally performing as themselves, The Flying K's have shared the stage with such people as Frank Sinatra, The Grateful Dead, Dolly Parton, The Who, Robin Williams, Joan Rivers, The Blues Brothers, Bobcat Goldthwait and Kenny Rogers. Last year, with Peter Schickle (P.D.Q. Bach,) having at long last practiced enough, they finally played Carnegie Hall. Their PBS special, The Flying Karamazov Brothers: Stars of New Vaudeville won a local Emmy for Outstanding Entertainment Programming. Other television credits include: Public Television's Great Performances, Live from Lincoln Center, several Smothers Brothers shows, numerous appearances on such shows as NBC's Today, with Gene Shalit, and ABC's Good Morning America, CBS's This Morning, Home, Regis and Kathie Lee, The Pat Sajak Show, The Late Show with Joan Rivers, Dolly, with Dolly Parton, Comedy Tonight, CBS' Happy New Year America, and the Disney Channel Special The New Vaudevillians. International television credits include appearances on BBC's The Paul Daniel Show, Pebble Mill at One, Blue Peter, and RTE's The Late Late Show. The Flying Karamazov Brothers co-starred with Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny De Vito in the hit movie The Jewel of the Nile.
