Here is what you can expect from hiring me for your fair:
First of all, my performance is very, very funny. It involves excellent juggling as well, but the focus is totally on entertaining people. The show is a one-of-a kind also.
As the first one-handed juggIer that history records, I developed a new system for juggling (because of my bad right-hand -which I injured badly at age 8) and use it during my show. (The system has influenced champion two-handed jugglers as well.) To put it simply, my system allows for more waiting time between throws and catches. This allowed me to even the playing field with two-handed jugglers,
and became instrumental in my success. The uniqueness of my situation makes my show a natural attention getter to the Media. Plus, I even hold a PR Degree
and work with the media as an expert should.
I use audience participation often and effectively during my act, and have been told by some of the nation's top producers that no act communicates with the audience as well as I do.
I juggle balls, tennis rackets, a hat, flower-pots, a head of lettuce, a unicycle (which I also ride) and do one or two hilarious bits with balloons during my performances. I can work on any size stage -including grandstand- or even on your commercial mid-way. I am an excellent emcee, and can perform at any event (for any age group) that you might have during your fair. Also, I have the ability to set-up on very short notice and have "saved" many a fair when a scheduled VIP is late or another act does not show.
Truth is, my reputation is unsurpassed in the fair industry. I've been rebooked more often than most anyone has been booked in the first place! My list of rebookings include: State Fairs in Alaska; Arkansas; Georgia; Illinois; Iowa; Kentucky; Louisiana; Michigan; Missouri; North Carolina; South Carolina; West Virginia and many other major fairs and festivals across the nation. In fact, one fair (Tennessee Valley) has hired me over 20 times!
Despite all that is mentioned above, my act is reasonably priced. I simply love working in the Fair Industry and want to help your event succeed!
