Matt performed at our alumni dinner held at the Austin Public Library in April 2019. He engaged with the crowd, performed fascinating stunts, and had everyone enjoying his performance. He is definitely someone you want to hire at your next event!

Response from Matt Tardy : Stunt Juggler:
Thank you for the wonderful review, Nancy! I had an awesome time performing at your event!
I’ve worked along side Matt at several events. He had great props. He works the crowd well and he has some crazy juggling moves I’ve never see before. I definitely recommend him.

Matt was wonderful to work with! He is very responsive to communications, flexible and professional. We were all blown away by his juggling talents and his funny banter with the audience was a great, unexpected bonus. He is a fabulous entertainer and would be perfect for any corporate, private or school event for all ages.

Wonderful work! Everyone at our holiday party was especially entertained by the child stilt walkers.

Matt is an amazing and high-energy performer! I book him regularly for performances at our library. I don't want to describe him as just a juggler because that can conjure images of slapstick comedy. Instead Matt is a skilled stunt juggler, performing cool stunts and contortions. By the end of the show, every kid wants to be able to do the awesome tricks Matt has shown them. I've also booked Matt for juggling workshops, where he teaches the kids how to juggle in a playful and fun manner that is well-received by the participants! Matt knows how to play to a big crowd as well as talk one-on-one with a child struggling with learning to juggle. He is dependable and always punctual and I also appreciate Matt's ability to put together an invoice.

Matt was terrific to work with! Not only was he very entertaining, he tailored his performance to exactly what we wanted and was a delight to work with.

We have had Matt several times at the Larry J. Ringer Library and every time he comes, the community loves him. He is always early, gives a great show, and will stay amazing even in any situation (especially when our outside sprinklers came on during his show and then a lightning storm rolled in).
We've had him perform before large audiences and he also led a juggling class for our teens and tweens. He was patient, kind, and a lot of fun with the older kids. He connects with all ages.
Matt has a great sense of humor. His kids are now in the act and they're amazing and funny also.
He's definitely worth booking!

About
Matthew Tardy started his performing career, alongside his brother, in 1994 as young teenagers. They grew up in a small town in Maine where they presented some sketch comedy at a local community talent show. They were seen by local physical comedian Michael Miclon, who noticed their natural rapport with the audience and invited them to apprentice and tour with him. The apprenticeship opened many doors including the opportunity to train extensively at the Celebration Barn Theater with Mime Master Tony Montanaro as well as Broadway comedians, gold-medal jugglers, and Cirque du Soleil performers.
By the age of 16, Matthew was performing full-time as a professional juggler, circus artist, and musician. In the last 24 years, Matt has performed all over the globe, including the Atlantis Resort, Disney Cruise Lines, and even The White House on three separate occasions. He has appeared on David Letterman, CBS’s The Early Show, Inside Edition, and CBS Sunday Morning.
