Balloon Maestro

Performances

I did not invent the idea of performing with ballloons on stage;
Mimes have struggled against apparently immovable balloons, magicians have stuck needles through them, physical comedians have climbed inside giant balloons....
But in each of these cases, the balloon was a novelty element, a side-dish; In my hands, balloons become a full seven course meal!
I have developed balloon-based musical instruments, magical effects, deft manipulations, joyful juggling techniques, crazy comedy, performance art, haute couture costumes and stunning set elements. This enables me to create and perform a balloon act which can be adapted to a variety of situations.
My delivery is characterized by a way with words inherited from my Irish parents, and and the fuzzy edge of a thoughtful clown confused and delighted by his preternatural competence.
From Just for Laughs Galas to European Cabarets; family audiences to adults-only shows- all around the world- crowds have been wowed by my unique style and repertoire.
Tailoring my show to each special occasion, I deliver high-energy, creative and memorable performances.
