All wowed the crowd Wednesday, July 6, during a free summer show by comedian, juggler and actor Michael Rayner.
His routine, performed at Murrieta’s Town Square Park and Amphitheater, combines tricks and stunts with stand-up comedy, a city news release states. Of course, the show included Rayner’s signature trick — spinning a cheeseburger on a parasol, a gag he’s performed on several TV shows.
The Murrieta Public Library arranged Rayner’s performance.
