International Jugglers Day 2024

juggler    
I've only known one juggler in my life. He was the son of a chiropractor and into muscle control, was a practicing exhibitionist — and sometimes was quite a bit obnoxious so juggling never became something I looked forward to watching.

The earliest recorded juggling was around some 2000 BC in Egypt. The images were taking from murals within the crypts there. Some 1500 years later juggling appeared in Greek art.

I think the coordination and dexterity are admiral as long as you don't drown it in a multitude of distressing social habits as did my former friend.

Today is International Juggler’s Day.

The day is held under the auspices of The International Jugglers Association since the mid 1980s.

The day is held each April 18 annually. It is all about juggling and its many accomplished practitioners.

Not being a prop comic as such I personally would only be interested in juggling the more exotic objects ...

Just for their shock value. You know, axes, lit torches, knives, etc.

So if you're so inclined go gather a few props and practice your skills until they are presentable. Try to keep your objectionable traits under wraps when you perform.
