Out-of-town Guests

Tony Duncan: Tony has been performing since 1982. He appeared throughout the US in theaters, corporate shows, nightclubs and colleges, and in different venues all over the world, from circuses in Denmark and Japan to cruise ships in Antarctica. Tony received rave reviews in the Broadway show Sugar Babies, and has opened for such comedic stars as Jeff Foxworthy, Tony Randall and Henny Youngman. Tony worked with Martha Stewart both on her K-Mart commercials and in her TV show. Tony is the winner of the IJA World Juggling Championship, and twice took home top honors at the Variety Artists World Cup in Japan by being named Most Original Act and Most Impressive Act.

Thomas Dietz: Thomas is recognized as one of the greatest technical jugglers in the world, with multiple juggling records. He is a Gold medalist for the International Jugglers' Association championships, and is the current reigning champion of the World Juggling Federation competition.

Reid Belstock: Reid is a juggler and physical comedian who has performed his combination slapstick and technical routine around the world. He has training at the Ringling Brothers, and Barnum and Bailey Circus Clown College, and has performed in a broad variety of venues, including Lazer Vaudeville, the International Jugglers Association festivals, and multiple cruise ships.

Kaori Matsuzawa: Kaori has become a YouTube unicycling phenomenon with her combination of extraordinary unicycling and flowing dance. Join us at the Extravaganza to see her first performance in the Pacific Northwest.
