About Backflip

Professional rodeo clown "Backflip" Johnny Dudley of Denton, Texas, is one of the top talents in pro rodeo. He is known for amazing feature acts, along with his quick wit and off-the-cuff banter that keep crowds laughing until their sides hurt.

He has performed at rodeos from Florida to Alaska and just about everywhere in between, including the ProRodeo tour finale in Puyallup, WA, and twice in the barrel at the San Antonio Livestock Show & Rodeo. He was the official entertainer at the world famous Pendleton Round-Up, chosen five times for the Texas Circuit Finals rodeo, three times for the Turquoise Circuit Finals, six times for the PRCA's All American Finals, nominated twice for PRCA Comedy Act of the Year, top 5 multiple times for the National Finals Rodeo and in 2019 he was voted as the winner of the prestigious Coors Man in the Can award.
