There will be some sporadic public performances throughout the winter; I enjoy working out new material at the wonderful Lunacy Cabarets in Toronto and will most likely put in an appearance at Scotiabank Nuit Blanche performing in Mysterion’s All Night Variety Show at the Gladstone Hotel. Other than that, it’s back to the studio for me so I can build new material for next year.

My blog shall be updated throughout the winter, as well, with snippets of things I’m working on among other stuff, so, please check back as often as you did during the summer!

Have an excellent fall and winter, everyone!  And remember, for any and all performance-related inquiries, please feel free to email me via the contact page!

Check out the latest post, the first in a weekly series for the Burgeoning Busker.

Over the past two weeks, my inbox has been flooding with all sorts of questions from beginner buskers, ranging from the well-thought out and the stupid. Expect a hilarious cross-section for your (and my) reading amusement!

As for a personal update: summer tour is firming up. If you’re in Toronto, book off the long weekend in May to come out to the Toronto International Circus Festival, down at Harbourfront! It’s going to be a great time, and fun for the whole family.  Best of all, it’s free!!

This upcoming weekend, I will be in Ottawa for the grand opening of Winterlude. I always love visiting and working in my nation’s capital, so it should be a really fun time! In two weeks after that, I will be performing in the Milano Clown Festival in Milan, Italy. I’m really looking forward to being back in the land of awesome pizza, grappa and yoghurt (seriously.. the yoghurt in the North of Italy is probably the BEST yoghurt I’ve ever had!!). Oh, and prosecco, of course. I will be premiering my new street show “Rag-Maninoff” which is both exciting and very nerve-wracking. After the festival, I’ll travel to Friuli to visit my family, since, I can’t go to Italy and NOT see them while I’m there and, how else shall one spend their own birthday?! I’m looking forward to this experience greatly!

After Milan, I will be traveling to London, England for a few days to catch up with friends, check out the street scene and get my visa for Sierra Leone. We have finally been given the go-ahead for the project I’ve been involved in for the last year or so. While in Sierra Leone, I will be hosting workshops in juggling, mime, and various other circus disciplines with some wonderful kids in orphanages in both Freetown and Koidu. I am immensely looking forward to traveling to Africa to realize this project fully. It’s been a long hard battle to get to Sierra Leone, and it looks like it is finally happening in March. Hooray for Karamazov!

I am gracious to be the recipient of some funding from Circus Without Borders to be able to get circus equipment that I can leave in Africa with the kids and film a little documentary about the experience and journey. It’s going to be a helluva ride and one that while I don’t think anybody could ever really prepare for, I am ready for as best as I can be!

I will be publishing my press release on this blog regarding the upcoming trip that will have further details.

Whew. What a Birthday-Month.
Wish me luck!

We are combing through lots of content to upload to the site so please be patient while we get all the pretty pictures up and provide all of the necessary information for booking agents.

We are happy to finally be part of the 21st century.

Finally.
