 For
the second straight year, Keith Isley swept the Coors Man in
the Can award, Comedy Act of the Year and Clown of the Year
at the annual PRCA Awards Banquet, Dec. 1 at the South Point
Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas. Isley, from Goldston,
N.C., also was selected as Coors Man in the Can in 2006.
2010 PRCA Awards - Clown of the
Year, Coors Man in the Can,
Comedy Act of the Year.
Keith was born on October 9,
1957 in Reidsville, North Carolina.
Keith Started his rodeo career in 1972 at the age of fifteen
competing in the junior rodeo division in the bareback
riding and bull riding. He also tried his hand at
bullfighting. It got to the point where he enjoyed the
bullfighting (protecting the cowboys) more than the
competition. That's more or less how his career as a
contract performer began.
Keith had no desire to tell jokes or perform clown acts.
Being somewhat shy, he found the large audiences
intimidating. However, after a period of time he found that
the baggy pants and make-up that he wore provided him a
comfort shield between himself and the spectators. Slowly
but surely, he began telling jokes and performing clown
acts.
Some of his comedy routines consist of Trick Roping, High
Impact-Low Impact aerobic workout, various animal routines
and Trick Riding. Acts such as these have made it possible
for Keith to make rodeo entertainment a full-time career.
His travels have taken him throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico
and Canada.
