While it is the bull fighters’ job to protect the cowboys, the barrelman’s primary job is to entertain the crowd. It’s a job that Dusty Myers takes very seriously . . . for a clown.
Dusty has been recognized as one of the top rodeo clowns and barrelmen in the rodeo world by being nominated as one of the Top 5 PRCA Clown/Barrelmen of the Year, one of the Top 5 PRCA Comedy Acts of the Year, and was selected to work the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2025.
Inspired by some of rodeo’s greatest entertainers, such as Lecile Harris and Quail Dobbs, everything from Dusty’s grease paint to his baggies pay homage to the legacy of the traditional rodeo clown. A second-generation rodeo clown with more than 20 years of professional rodeo experience, Dusty wins over audiences of all ages with big acts, big props, and even bigger character! Defying the sometimes-heavy realities of life and modern influences, Dusty lets his inner-child run loose in the arena bringing energy and mischief to every rodeo performance.
“For two hours, I just want everyone to enjoy feeling like a kid again,” Dusty said.
