What to expect
You can expect world class entertainment with a "hands free philosophy". Bruce brings amazing skills to every event and strives to be fully self contained.
Comedy & Juggling and Stuff with Bruce Manners is an entertaining blend of stand-up comedy, juggling and audience participation. As a featured stage show, the show seamlessly blends amazing juggling with "impromptu" patter and jokes suitable for all ages and audiences. As a strolling show, Bruce features award winning artistic 3 ball juggling, amazing balancing tricks and snappy audience interactions to ensure everyone who sees him has fun.
You can expect Bruce to contact you about a week prior to the event. This will enable you both to agree on final logistics and expectations. The show will be fully self contained and won't require anything from you. Bruce also likes to arrive early in order to ensure everything is ready to start the show on time.

From corporate events to county fairs, comedy clubs to backyard pool parties, Bruce has seen it all (and a bit too much of some of it).

Additional booking notes
No special technical requirements. "Stage" shows do require adequate space to perform. Typically 10'x10' is sufficient. Sound equipment can be provided by artist, but can also work in conjunction with theater/stage/sound technicians/engineers. Fire can only be used when both the client and Bruce agree it is safe and appropriate for the conditions on the day of the event.
