Relentlessly positive and kooky as all get out, Tippy Topwell delivers physical comedy & eccentric dance that delight and amaze!
Tippy Topwell
Tippy Topwell Dances Around the Subject premiered in August 2025 (in collaboration with Virgina Scott and with the generous support of The Visionary) to wild success and delight! Now she's rolling into New York town, appearing here and there and if you are truly lucky you might even catch a glimpse of her nephew, John Tammy Topwell Bopwell on double slide whistle!

Tippy for Hire!
Tippy would love to host your next event! Let Tippy bring fun and physical comedy to your party or community event. As this is a new part of Tippy's offerings, you can snag an affordable rate for a personalized combination of:
-
hosting
-
a Tippy performance act (choose from a variety of dances, stand up sets or have Tippy make sandwiches for the crowd)
-
Tippy can lead a group game, provide an ice breaker, or teach her signature line dance The Tippy Canoe and Tapping Too (all of which have never been done by Tippy at this point!)
-
AND any additional proposals/needs/imaginings will be considered - let's brew something new up together (as my 9th husband Aldo used to say).
Tippy loves to break the ice, get the dance floor rocking and the good times rolling!
