About the show About the Show
When Warren performs at your event, he brings over a decade of
skill, knowledge and showmanship. He'll have you rolling on the
floor with his comedy, you'll be amazed at the sheer technical skill of his
juggling feats, and his exciting stunts will make you wonder "How did he
do that?"
You choose what is right for your event:
Stage acts: Choreographed juggling routines set to music will leave audiences of all ages in awe. These beautifully executed pieces are perfect for any show. Each piece is from 3 to 5 minutes long. Ask for stage and sound requirements.
Dangerous stunts: See the trick that David Letterman said was the dumbest thing he's ever seen in his life! Warren will pop a balloon by firing a glowing dart out of his nose! Warren will juggle three knives while balancing atop a precarious board and cylinder...WHILE HIS PANTS ARE ON FIRE! Not for weak stomachs! Do not try this at home!
Roving entertainment: Using a variety of props and skills, Warren walks
through the crowd entertaining and impressing small groups at a time.
Perfect for parties, festivals and corporate events.
Emcee: Hire Warren to host your next show. He is skilled in the
art of "keeping the show rolling", and an expert at entertaining
while the next act prepares.
Clips from the show: "I could tell you about this next trick normally, or I could tell you about this next trick while inserting a screwdriver through my nose and into my skull. Which would you prefer: normal? Or screwdriver?"
Coaching Coaching
Private lessons are the best way to get one-on-one attention. Students will see huge improvements in a short amount of time and lessons are tailored to each student's needs. For beginners, a general study of props is recommended to allow students to discover their strengths. For more advanced students, lessons become more focused on specific props, gaining skills and tricks, and the student will find him or herself becoming a unique and creative juggler or performer.
Group Lessons are a great way to bring some fun to a corporate meeting, camp, or other event. Warren's fun and high-energy teaching methods encourage participants of all ages to succeed and you can bet there will be plenty of laughing along the way! Group juggling and circus lessons are a great way to build teamwork while having fun and learning a new skill you never thought you could master!
School Classes can be one day or over any period of time. Curriculums are tailored to the class length and age of students so that everyone finds a skill that they enjoy and has success. School classes generally end with a fun and impressive student performance for friends, family, and teachers!
Choreography Workshops are perfect for new and experienced performers who need help writing and organizing a routine. Character development, movement and stage awareness are just some of the ways that Warren can take your tricks and skills and turn them into an exciting performance suitable for any kind of stage.

Biography Biography
When Warren was 14 years old he discovered that he could juggle. He spent the next few years obsessively exploring every single prop imaginable. His parents supported his passion by taking him to International Juggling Association conventions and letting him take juggling lessons from local performer David Bear Stuart.
In addition to a passion for juggling, Warren developed a love for science and graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology with a degree in Biology. He continued along this path and studied virology and cancer in graduate school at Baylor College of Medicine and worked in genetic engineering in Denver. Eventually, Warren tired of being in a laboratory washing his hands constantly, so he left science in pursuit of a career in juggling.
Along the way, Warren received training from some great jugglers and performers such as Evgeni Biljauer, Michael Menes, Peter Davison, Cindy Marvell, Carter Brown, Reid Belstock, and Sven Jorgensen to mention a few. He is also a graduate of the Bovine Metropolis School of Improv in Denver, Colorado.
Warren continues to perform in his solo show, with his duo project Smirk, and as part of the international touring group Lazer Vaudeville. He is a host at the Bovine Metropolis Theater and during the summer, you can find him performing on Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado.
