Balance That Beer
Friday 25 July 2008
Jerry Rowan is a bit of a street performing celebrity. He’s spent time with the world famous Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey, made a tv appearance on CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman, and has been banned from performing at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor (the ban has since been lifted).
His act delivers rapid one liners throughout his show that will make you laugh, as long as you aren’t on the wrong end of the punch line. Don’t let the quick quips fool you though, Jerry possesses a great deal of skills when it comes to juggling, riding a unicycle and balancing things on his head. The picture below is Jerry’s finale move which earned him a spot on David Letterman’s show.


What a great photo, Shawn! I LOVE how it’s in b&w except for the beer – awesome!

[...] were supportive and enjoyed the variety of acts. The festivities were MC’d by the great Jerry Rowan. As a seasoned performer, he did a great job of building up a crowd for the auditioning performers [...]
I was a frequent visitor to the Inner Harbor in the late 1980′s and, as a result, a huge fan of Jerry Rowan, Big Juggling Star. No other performer could work the crowd quite like Jerry. So nice to see that he is back
