Frogtown, CA...Dubbed "America's Funniest Cowgirl", Karen Quest has been blazing a trail since 1998 with her one-woman original comedy act, Cowgirl Tricks. Skillful trick roping, impressive whip cracking, outstanding audience rapport, improvisational kooky cowgirl shenanigans, along with her signature custom costumes, have proven wildly popular at fairs and festivals, corporate and private events, libraries and retirement homes, parks, parking lots and assorted domestic and international venues.
