‘Mutts Gone Nuts’ brings family-friendly comedy dog show to stage April 10

Audiences of all ages are invited to enjoy an evening of laughter and amazing canine talent as Mutts Gone Nuts takes the stage at Jackson College’s Potter Center at 7 p.m. Friday, April 10, 2026.

This uproariously funny spectacular features a dozen of the world’s most talented four-legged performers in a show that has audiences howling for more. The all-star lineup includes a Guinness World Record holder, an “America’s Got Talent” fan favorite, and a cast of rescue dogs that will dance, prance, flip and skip their way into the hearts of audience members.

Deemed “a must-see” by The Washington Post, Mutts Gone Nuts combines high-energy comedy with impressive canine athleticism in a performance that is both entertaining and heartwarming.

The show is led by comedy duo Scott and Joan Houghton, who have been entertaining audiences since 1985 with their unique blend of physical comedy and circus arts. Their career has taken them from Las Vegas to Tokyo. In 2005, the Houghtons turned their focus to creating a comedy dog act. Today, their talented canine cast is made up entirely of dogs adopted from animal shelters and rescue organizations. Using positive, reward-based training methods, the performers showcase each dog’s natural abilities in a fun and engaging way.

Beyond the entertainment, Mutts Gone Nuts is committed to animal welfare. The dogs travel in climate-controlled accommodations while on tour and enjoy spacious indoor living conditions and open areas at home.

This family-friendly performance promises an unforgettable evening of comedy, skill and heart. Tickets start at just $15, with $5 off tickets for children 12 and under in select sections. Buy tickets, or call the Potter Center Box Office, 517.796.8600.
