Live or virtual, family friendly entertainment guaranteed to tickle the whole family's funny bone! Ted brings back the whimsical acts of variety entertainment. A dexterous mix of physical comedy, audience interaction, and daring feats keeps your audience on the edge of their seats. Manipulating props and audience is all part of the fun. I’m fully vaccinated as of 4/1/21 and my studio is up and running. That means I can deliver live in person or live virtual shows and workshops. If your event has a special theme, my specialty is customizing a show or presentation to fit. Contact me and let’s put together a presentation your group won’t forget!
Ted put on a great show. We were particularly impressed with how he was able to tailor it to the specific (fairly uncommon) event.
Definitely would recommend!
Ted performed for a high school senior graduation party and was highly entertaining, skilled and terrific with the teens! He was great to work with before and during the show. He communicated prior to the event to ensure that his repertoire would be right for the audience. His use of comedy, acrobatics and juggling prowess was marvelous. Ted has a very engaging personality and fully involved his audience in his performances. After his "show", he spent a lot of extra time with the kids in helping them juggle and re-create some of his acts. Wonderful to work with and highly recommend!

Show description: Ill advised comedy feats of derring-do! Ted performs a fast paced comedy show. Manipulating balls, multiple other objects, as well as the audience is all part of the fun.
Ted has been performing since 1995. Whether in person, virtually, or pre-recorded he brings energy, audience engagement and object manipulation artistry to every show. 2019 was a busy year with featured performances in the Pittsburgh Fringe Festival in April, the Rochester Fringe Festival in September, the Fluggleburgh Juggling Festival in October and opening for the Penfield Players and Polite Ink Improv’s benefit show for the Willow Center for Domestic Violence at Rochester’s Little Theater. In addition to that Ted has teamed up with Howie Hypnotize and Magical John to perform in five Variety Mind Trip Show the shutdown in March of 2020. Since then he performed at Rochester’s JCC for their Lag BaOmer fest, outdoors of course, and he has delivered virtual workshops via ZOOM on juggling and making indoor boomerangs. In August he was asked to pre-record a show for the National Banana Spilt Celebration involving a banana split, of course, and this September he will be performing and teaching a juggling workshop at the 2020 Virtual Rochester Fringe Festival. 2021 began with Ted performing, virtually, in the Tucson Fringe Festival. In May his new show, Almost Magic, will be shown as part of the 2021 Pittsburgh Fringe Festival.
Ted has performed shows in Vermont, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Hawaii, New York as well as in all of the Rochester Fringe Festivals from 2011 to 2020 and the Pittsburgh (2019 in person, and 2020 & 2021 Virtually) and Ithaca Fringe Festivals.
He is an award winning juggling (5 Ball Endurance & Best Trick at the Cornell Big Red Juggling Festival) and award winnning performing from both the Tucson Fringe Festival (Best Magic/Circus/Variety Show) and the Ithaca Fringe Festival (Andrew D. Dixon Award), and that makes Ted the perfect choice for your event.
Often mistaken for a magician he employs a wide variety of physical skills including juggling, ball spinning, slack lining, balancing, vaudeville gentleman juggling skills and sometimes even a magic trick or two! When not performing he delivers unforgettable and entertaining Keynote presentations and Leadership Development Programs.
A simple white wash for lighting will work well. A 15 foot wide by 9 foot deep stage at the minimum. I can provide my own sound support as long as there is access to an electrical outlet within 20 feet. A ceiling height of 16 feet or more is preferable.
