Karen Quest
Cowgirl Tricks
Dubbed "America’s Funniest Cowgirl”, Karen Quest has been blazing a trail with her one-woman award-winning original comedy act, Cowgirl Tricks, since 1998.
Cowgirl Tricks is a tongue-in-cheek vaudeville-style comedic bonanza of skillful trick roping, impressive whip cracking, music, magic, audience participation, and improvisational kooky cowgirl shenanigans suitable for audiences of all ages.
A versatile professional performer with a degree in Theater Arts, Karen is also an alumnus of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Clown College. Known for her outstanding audience rapport, Quest has appeared on stage, film and television in ten countries, delighting audiences around the world.
Karen is also available as a number of Over The Top™ stilt characters, including Lucky Starr, the eight foot tall ropin' cowgirl; Pegg Legg, the Pirate Queen (who has a real wooden leg); Grandma (with her giant walker); Frances, the Farmer’s Daughter; and more. Have an idea for a custom character for your event? Let Karen create something special for you!

"Karen Quest's spiffy cowgirl tricks - roping and whip cracking - are surpassed only by her feisty banter, which lights up the production on stage. She does it with panache."
The San Francisco Examiner
"... bounces through the most complicated routines without once losing the individuality that makes it an art."
New York Times
"Whatever the age of the child, from 8 to 80, they will not soon forget this engaging and delightfully presented show."
Department of Defense Dependents School
"You were hilarious! You were the highlight of our trip to the fair. You should have a variety act in Las Vegas."
"We were one of the couples nearly falling on the floor collapsing from laughter (pure enjoyment, that is) at the Puyallup Fair. You are a huge talent! You make me laugh just thinking about your antics."
"What a great show you put on. The fair would not be complete without seeing you there. You are fun, funny, talented."
