The Doc McConnell's "Old Medicine Show" is an authentic medicine show reminiscent of the traveling medicine shows shown a hundred years ago.  The show is complete with a real medicine wagon, gaily painted and outfitted.  The show is suited for all members of the family and is always in good taste.  The show is in its 30th season and has appeared on network television, celebrations, stadiums, towns, cities, and universities all over the United States.  The show is fast moving and guaranteed to bring a laugh to most, and at least a smile to all the rest.  The chant of the medicine show man peddling his roots, herbs, barks and brews, the magic tricks charming the children, the trained flea act, the old time music, and colorful costume, are sure to bring enjoyment to all who have an opportunity to see and hear…. Doc McConnell's Old Medicine Show.

Southern Storytelling with a mountain flavor are often the terms used to describe Doc McConnell's storytelling.  His traditional stories and tall tales appeal to the young and old alike . He often provides workshops, lectures and performances and sometimes includes a stringed instrument in his presentations.  In addition, Doc is considered the best of the old time "pitch men" as he recreates entertainment of days gone by in "Doc McConnel's Old Medicine Show" complete with wagon, copper bracelets, and entertainment.

His tall tales, traditional stories and family reminiscences are appropriate for all ages above five years old and he has delighted many an adult audience wit his humor as well.
