April 29, 2026Perfect for Seniors!
We hosted our Senior Fiesta with over 3000 seniors in attendance. Matt was wondering at capturing the awe of the audience and making them feel engaged. His performance gradually progressed with the stunts of juggling and that was super fun to watch! We truly thank Matt Tardy for helping make our seniors happy and letting them have a great time. Thank you Matt!

April 25, 2026What an absolute pleasure Matt Tardy is!
We booked Matt for a class picnic and his act was an absolute hit! The first graders loved watching him juggle, loved how interactive he was and just overall had a great time. The parents were also thoroughly entertained. Thank you so much for such a lovely time, Matt! We look forward to booking you for future events as well!

September 15, 2025Perfect for 8yr old Bday party
Matt did a wonderful job at our son's 8th birthday party. He was a hit with the kids and adults. He is funny, his humor is family friendly. His tricks were very entertaining and left some people gasping. I would highly recommend him for your functions.

About
Matt started performing at the age of 13 and, along with his brother (Jason Tardy), apprenticed with professional juggler, vaudevillian, and comedian, Michael Miclon. During that time they also trained extensively at the Celebration Barn Theater with Mime Master Tony Montanaro (protégé of Marcel Marceau) as well as Broadway comedians, gold-medal jugglers, and Cirque du Soleil performers.
Matt has toured the country for over 30 years at theaters, festivals, schools, cruise ships and everything in-between. Highlights include the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, Disney Cruise Lines, the Golden Phoenix Casino in Reno, Nevada, and – three times – at the White House in DC.
He has also made appearances on local and national television including David Letterman, CBS’s The Early Show, Inside Edition, and CBS Sunday Morning.
Additional booking notes
I bring all necessary equipment for my performance. This includes a professional sound system and microphone.
For juggling workshops, I provide juggling equipment for up to 30 participants at a time.

Setup requirements
I bring all equipment needed for my performance, including a professional sound system and microphone.
I can adapt my show to fit almost any situation. For the best performance, I recommend allocating a 10'x10' unobstructed "stage area" with 8ft ceiling height. More space = bigger stunts!
I can perform my show outside or indoors. Given the option, I prefer to perform my show indoors, even if that means a smaller space.
