Peter Brunette - Juggler

A dynamic, passionate performer, Peter Brunette has entertained thousands of children and adults in more than twenty years of performing. His shows delight audiences with a mix of high energy fun, incredible feats of juggling, hilarious comedy, and death defying stunts. Whether walking on a rope high above the ground, playing with fire, juggling more balls than you can count, or interacting with an audience volunteer, Peter’s show is a bound to impress and entertain.

Peter specializes in combining comedy with juggling, as well as modern reinterpretations of traditional circus juggling. He enjoys performing stunts that combine multiple types of juggling on different parts of the body at the same time, all while balancing on a balance board or slack rope. He also loves to impress audiences with his mesmerizing three ball juggling. And when that isn’t enough he will impress with fire and knife juggling!

A professional since his teens, juggling and entertaining has always been Peter’s passion. Peter fell in love with juggling at the tender age of five after seeing his father juggle three balls. He has described this as the most impactful moment of his life; even more important than when he first discovered velcro shoelaces.

A highly respected, world class juggler, Peter has won numerous awards. These include an eXtreme Juggling Gold Medal, a Blind Juggling World Championship, three Silver Medals in the Minnesota State Juggling Championships, and a Bronze Medal in Devil Stick.

Peter is a former teacher. He taught Science in Lost Angeles at Crenshaw High School, the school featured in the movie Boyz in the Hood. Later, Peter helped to make math fun by teaching math in Minnesota. Eventually he realized that it is easier to make juggling fun, and has been juggling full time ever since.

His hobbies include juggling, rope walking, danger, death defying, and baking bread. He has a daughter, a cat and a smart phone.
