Get ready for a fun-filled, fast-paced family comedy extravaganza. A modern take on slapstick comedy, "Popovich: Road to Hollywood" features amazing circus stunts, intricate set-piece gags, and a colorful cast of wacky characters and cute creatures. Not many actors have the ability to capture the true essence of classic physical comedy like Gregory Popovich, who has headlined his own show at the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip for over a decade. After being kicked out of his beloved home in a traveling circus, Popovich sets his sights on Hollywood but gets stuck in a little desert town on his way to LaLaLand. He's forced to work a series of dead-end jobs there in the hope of making enough money to get out but winds up even deeper in a cycle of comic mischief and misfortune.

At 0:00:33, Gregory Popovich juggles 4 rings for 3 seconds during the opening titles. About 30 seconds later, he does a few hat tricks.

At 0:05:06, a circus clown in the background briefly juggles 3 clubs.

At 0:23:06, Popovich does 14 seconds of shaker cup manipulation, immediately followed by 20 seconds of juggling 3 oranges.

At 0:32:22, Popovich does about 10 seconds of 3 club kick-up tricks using a broom, a duster, and a dust pan.

At 1:10:57, Popovich excels in a nearly 3 minute production number, with dancing, hat and cane tricks, a devil stick routine, and climaxing with 5 club juggling and tricks with 3 clubs while standing on top of a free-standing ladder.
