NZ Comedy Festival

Was a big day today, Did 2 publicity stunts for the New Zealand International Comedy Festival. First one was in the morning where we put on Chicken Masks and walked around Queen St, Crossing the road, Handing out Comedy Festival booklets, etc. 2nd one was for the Visa Comedy Gala where we had Tape on our faces and held a sign saying 'I am not the boy' Some people got what it meant, Some people didn't.


The people who got it had a good laugh and played along with whatever way I tried to communicate with them, Others just stared at me in weird way... Which I was all good with since someone standing awkwardly with tape on their mouth isn't something you see everyday.

Some people interacted with me in a fun way which made me smile. At one point I was standing by the toilets and I was staring at this young lady, She was staring back for awhile and we ended up having a 2 minute long staring contest. After she won I gave her a copy of my sign. She smiled, Winked, and walked off...

It was a very special moment.



We are not 'The Boy'

Here's a little video of the Chicken Stunt:

Filming

We did some filming for Asia Downunder recently, They filmed us warming up before our performance and also filmed our on-stage performance. We will be doing interviews and more filming next week.

Will keep you all updated on when it will be aired.

Heart Children Variety Show 2011

I had a great opportunity to perform in a wonderful show full of amazing people for the past 2 days.

I was performing in the 2 Auckland shows of the Heart Children 'Big Day Out' Variety Show filling in for my friend Zach Washer who is a Juggler/Cyr Wheel artist.

In the show I did 2 acts, The first one was a talking/interactive act where I get a volunteer to hold onto a hat and I juggle 5 balls and the volunteer had to catch one ball at a time, And when the volunteer successfully catches all of them, They win a prize! And the other act is my fast-paced Tempo Juggling routine.




The volunteer I used yesterday was awesome. He was trying to catch the ball before I even threw it.


Highlights include me & Andre's 'Magic Juggling' routine, Punk's rocket getting stuck up on the theatre vents, Me almost knocking over the backdrop curtains during my juggling act, and ofcourse... The GLITTER!




It was alot of fun hanging out with everyone, and I hope I get another chance to perform in the show again soon.

Power Rangers

I was up all night last night organising music for upcoming shows, I was finally able to get to sleep at 5am.

Then at 9:30am I got woken up by a phone call from my Agent about a Audition for me this Sunday. Unfortunatly I'm fully booked this Sunday and didn't have any time in between shows to make it to the audition so sadly, I declined the offer.

It was a guest support role for the tv series 'Power Rangers' which is airing in the states and as you may know they film all their episodes here in New Zealand.

I can't give out too much detail, But 1 thing I can say is I was gonna be related to the Pink Ranger...





I'm hoping there will be another opportunity like this soon, It'll be great to show my acting skills to the film industry.

Costume

My friend's mother in China is a costume designer who creates costumes for Chinese Acrobats, I have asked if I could get a Juggling Costume made for Stage & Circus shows and has agreed that she can make a custom one made for me.

I've been looking at all sorts of costumes that jugglers wear and have been gathering ideas based on my favourite designs.

Here are a few of my favourites:




Tempo Juggler - Jonathan Freeman




Tempo Juggler - Ricardo Araujo


Have you seen any cool costume designs suitable for a Tempo Juggling act?

Extreme Fire Eating

Went to see my friend Mark Robinson perform in a magic show today.

All the acts were great, But the one act that blew my mind was Jon Zealando who is a Living legend magician & Fire eater in New Zealand. He's very old but does some highly skilled Fire eating, Breathing and even fuel regurgitation!
