Nate the Great

Nate the Great learned to juggle when he was seven-years-old one afternoon at the YMCA with three tennis balls he plucked from his Dad's tennis bag. He was raised on a small farm in eastern Upstate New York and has been juggling, balancing, flipping, and catching things as long as he can remember. Nate now earns his living performing regionally as a juggler, musician, and teacher.

He has performed in annual street shows at The Ithaca Festival, the TomatoFest, as well as private parties, numerous college events, and regular street-performing wherever he turns up. His juggling shows are interactive, great for kids and adults, and include the juggling of (at least!) 5 clubs, 6 rings, 7 balls, and 1-2 children, as well as comedy, musical juggling routines, FIRE breathing and juggling.
