"BackFlip" Johnny DudleyBarrel Man
Professional rodeo clown and barrel man "Backflip" Johnny Dudley of Denton, TX is one of the top talents in pro rodeo. He is known for amazing feature acts, along with his quick wit and off-the-cuff banter that keeps crowds laughing until their sides hurt. He has performed at rodeos from Florida to Alaska and just about everywhere in between. He has been chosen three times for the Turquoise Circuit Finals rodeo, six times for the PRCA's All-American Finals, nominated twice for PRCA Comedy Act of the Year, and was voted as the 2019 Coors Man in the Can. But, before becoming a rodeo clown, Johnny served 8 years in the United States Marine Corps and then went on to college where he graduated with a degree in International Business. Johnny is one of the most likable people you will ever meet and greets everyone with a big Texas smile. |
