Big Top Comedy - Traveling Across the US
Planning for 2011-12
Upcoming Tours

Greetings from Flow Circus: Can't believe it's August already - what a whirlwind! One last 2 week tour of libraries in the Northeast & then the summer rush is over for us. No time to rest as we have a busy fall planned presenting at conferences, conducting staff development, performing nationally, and kicking off new skill toy/juggling clubs. We'll keep you posted on these and other Flow Circus adventures as well as new grants/resources in future newsletters. For now we will just give you a couple of quick highlights as we catch our breath. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Playfully yours,
Paul & Dawn



Reviews Are In! We have enjoyed traveling to libraries throughout the East Coast sharing this summer's Summer Reading Program show One Toy, Many Stories. Every summer, Paul mixes new routines with old favorites and then adds a little improvisation to create a memorable experience that inspires families to read and play together. To see photos from this summer, visit the Flow Circus Photo Gallery.

We have a few weeks left before we wrap up for the summer, but wanted to share a few of our latest reviews:

"Miller masterfully entwined physical comedy for the kids with wisecracks, throwing in references to landline phones, Super Mario Brothers, and encyclopedias, for the older crows. What makes Miller a different kind of performer, however, is that he has learned the art of teaching while having fun." Amy Binkley, The Globe

"Reading Program Off to a Hilarious Start" - Headline from Green County News

"Sanford's Arts and Community Center reverberated with the sound of laughter and applause Wednesday as dozens of children enjoyed the antics of a juggling, wisecracking performer. Donning red and white striped pants, Miller appealed to his audience's silly side with a clapping contest, a pizza dough toss and a variety of props." Jennifer Gentile, The Sanford Herald

"My daughter and I had so much fun! You were absolutely entertaining! She is, at this very moment, telling her friends about the show. She asked me on the way home if we could find plates and a stick because she wants to learn how to spin them! Thank you for a great time." Comment on our Facebook page.

"Thank you for 4 wonderful performances in Harnett County this week! Folks are still talking and asking when you will be coming back." Angela McCauley, Harnett County Library

Big Top Comedy - Traveling Across the US: In addition to performing Flow Circus educational shows, Paul also travels nationally performing his comedy juggling and magic show for corporate events, festivals, and fairs. Upcoming performances include:

Just Paul Off-Broadway: Paul has been invited back to LMAO Off-Broadway to open for the Improv troupe Eight is Never Enough. Paul will be performing his signature juggling routine on Friday, August 5th at 8pm. For more information visit about tickets, visit http://www.lmao-nyc.com/

Big Top Comedy Tour: Paul is now touring with performer Ron Johnson as the Big Top Comedy Tour. This 100% clean blend of magic, juggling, ventriloquism and improvisational comedy will keep audiences riveted and ready for anything! Upcoming destinations for Paul include: Alaska, South Dakota, South Carolina, and Maryland.

Northeast Florida Fair: This October, Paul will spend 9 days performing for fair-goers in Callahan, Florida.
