Jen and Tony started performing together in 2004.  Initially working together on one routine, a completely new type of juggling that Jen invented, they discovered how well their respective talents complimented each other.  From that one act, their collaboration has blossomed into a full-fledged partnership.  Working with playwright/director Russell Davis, they have developed a show with an amazing variety of skill, and of course, dance, comedy, and attitude!

While the show consists almost entirely of juggling, it is much more than that.  Threaded with lighthearted conflict, the comedic interplay between Jen and Tony reveals their slightly different versions of reality.  Ultimately, their amusing stories show an underlying respect for and true enjoyment of each other - an enjoyment that the audience can’t help sharing in.

Tony

Tony Duncan has been performing since 1982.  He appeared throughout the US in theaters, corporate shows, nightclubs and colleges, and in different venues all over the world, from circuses in Denmark and Japan to cruise ships in Antarctica.  Tony received rave reviews in the Broadway show Sugar Babies, and has opened for such comedic stars as Jeff Foxworthy, Tony Randall and Henny Youngman.  Tony worked with Martha Stewart both on her K-Mart commercials and in her TV show.  Tony is the winner of the IJA World Juggling Championship, and twice took home top honors at the Variety Artists World Cup in Japan by being named Most Original Act and Most Impressive Act.

Born in Havana and brought up in Mexico until the age of 6, Tony lived up and down the East coast, as well as in Brazil, Denmark and Japan.  Tony went to college at the University of Rochester, George Washington University, Goddard College, and the Union Institute.  After years of studying astrophysics, evolutionary biology, social psychology, and education theory, Tony finally bowed to the inevitable and became a juggler.
