MikE the Juggler

I perform a self contained juggling and comedy show for small or large groups. My show contains audience participation with balancing, pass juggling, rope tricks. I do a fire-juggling routine for older audiences and only in outdoor venues. For festivals I am able to do walk-around performing for pre-determined lengths of time. Separately, for other events, I am able to do face and body art for both young and old.
