International Jugglers Day 2025

I've known a few jugglers in my day. They all were men. They were also insufferable dicks with egos that could span the cosmos.

I think there is some inherent braggadocio and antisocial behavior which goes with the skill which makes their company less than desirable for some of we reserved types ...

Today is International Juggler’s Day.

It is observed annually on April 18 since the mid 1980s under the auspices of the International Jugglers Association to celebrate all of the insufferable dicks you know who also juggle.

Seriously, the day honors the art of juggling and those many who practice the art.

Some juggle balls. Some juggle bottles. Others juggle flame. Some even juggle chain saws, knives, and other various dangers.

Juggling became more respected sometime after the middle ages likely due to it's incorporation by jesters and such who have always been shown less esteem than those who practice other skills in public.

Regardless, if you juggle then this is your day. Despite my disdain for jugglers in general — happy International Juggler’s Day to you.
