Overview

Jeremy the Juggler, Unicyclist, Magician and Clown - Entertainer for birthday parties, corporate events and festivities of all kinds and for all ages!

Jeremy's entertainment, which can be tailored to fit any type of event, most often includes a zany 30-minute "Big Show" with juggling, unicycling, transforming origami, magic, comedy and more.

The "Big Show" is followed by the "Post Big Show" entertainment which includes juggling and origami teaching or making balloon animals.

For company events and banquets, the Post Big Show entertainment means roving table to table doing interactive comedy and close-up tricks. In addition, roving can include unicycling around while juggling glowballs.

Kids are having fun

We booked Jeremy for a cub scout event. His performance brought a lot of fun. The whole show started indoor and then went to outdoor in the last 5-10 minutes. Jeremy interacted with all kids with brilliant juggler tricks, unicycle, origami, and especially the ending part with fire. Kids were impressed. If you have outdoor space, the fire part is must have.

Amazing! Fantastic!

Jeremy was exceptional! We had a huge school carnival and kids cannot stop talking about Jeremy! He was interactive, managed kids chasing him all of the place, and entertained the children and adults. Jeremy had great communication, was punctual, and a great performer. I'd recommend him over and over again1

Jeremy Was Great

This was my first interaction with Jeremy and I did not know what to expect. His videos and reviews looked good, and he was true to these. Jeremy appropriatley engaged my mostly adult group and was very entertaining. Jeremy arrived on time and he truly cared about my event and doing his best show. After the show, Jeremy engaged the croud with balloon objects and origami. Everything was great. I have already referred Jeremy to friends who will host events later this year and I would totally book Jeremy again.

Gig length: 30 - 360 minutes

Insurance: $1,000,000 - Insured with Performers of the U.S.

What to expect

Jeremy will tailor his entertainment to your particular event, which means any combination of "Big Show" , strolling, teaching origami (or juggling), or making balloon animals.

The Big Show consists of comedy juggling, unicycling, origami, magic and often a fireshow finale (outdoors!)

Strolling is roving around the event usually on a unicycle juggling and entertaining the guests. It can range from ambient (no interaction) to interactive table-to-table 3-minute shows.

Teaching origami and jugging is fun for all ages

Jeremy's balloon creations are best for ages 6 and younger. The menu consists of about 30 different one-balloon animals which can be attached to hats or leashes. Other items include swords, shields, flowers, hearts and crazy hats.

In addition to juggling and unicycling, Jeremy is also a world-famous origami designer specializing mostly in whimsical and kinetic origami models. Every week he uploads a new origami tutorial onto his YouTube channel, <a href="https://www.gigsalad.com/external/redirect/aHR0cDovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS9qZXJlbXlzaGFmZXJvcmlnYW1p">www.youtube.com/jeremyshaferorigami</a>, which currently has over 750,000 subscribers and 300 million views. He has designed hundreds of original origami models and written three books: "Origami to Astonish and Amuse," "Origami Ooh La La!" and "Origami Pop-ups." He has taught and performed at origami conventions in ten countries and he placed second on TV Champion, a survivor-esque Japanese TV show, competing against four Japanese origami masters. His other talents include handwhistling, salsa dancing, beatbox singing, unicycle tennis and unicycle basketball.

Additional booking notes

When appropriate, Jeremy uses a 20-watt belt-pack amplifier, which is plenty loud for most audiences. For very large stage shows (200+ people) he can bring a wireless mic that can plug into your sound system.

Jeremy's show can fit into just about any performance space. For the Big Show, shade (at least for the audience) is appreciated, but not required. The Fire Show -- torches, fireballs, flaming unicycle, flaming origami and fire eating -- is for outdoors only.
