The Disgo Wild West Fun Show will bring a unique mix of magic and entertainment to the Park County Fair with a show that’s fun for the whole family.

Kyle Groves — also known as Disgo — is a professional magician with decades of experience. This summer, Groves is going solo with his Western-themed magic show after his dad, Ed Groves, retired this year.

Prior to his retirement, Ed Groves — aka Ole Doc EZ — had performed magic shows for over 50 years. Earlier this year, he was hospitalized with COVID and spent 22 days in the hospital before returning home. Ed is doing better now, but he decided it was time to retire.

“He thought about it for a while and he told me, ‘Son, it’s all you now,’” Groves said.

For many years, the father-and-son act performed as Doc and Disgo.

Since Doc retired, Disgo is trying to figure out how to make his elixir, Groves said.

The show is based on the traveling medicine shows of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Groves described his Disgo character as a goofy guy.

Fairgoers can enjoy daily performances of the Disgo Wild West Fun Show, located in the McDonald’s Kids Zone.

Ole Doc EZ and Disgo first appeared at the Park County Fair in 2017, and Groves said he enjoys visiting the Cowboy State.

“I’m looking forward to getting back to Powell,” Groves said.

This summer, he has performances in New Mexico, all over Colorado and in Montana. Following this week’s Park County Fair, Groves will head to fairs in Big Horn County and then Laramie County.

After many cancellations in 2020, he said it feels good to be on the road and performing again.

“Last summer I had 86 libraries booked and I had five county fairs, and all of it just evaporated overnight,” Groves said. “I’m glad to be back at it this year.”
