Comedy

An act that started as a snowball-juggling contest in a laundromat has since escalated into flaming lawnchair juggling, exteme unicycling and other feats of amazement.  The Airborne Comedians are Dan Foley and Joel Harris, two skilled comedians and virtuoso jugglers, currently ranked the 3246th best juggling team in Massachusetts.  You can also see Dan and Joel perform their very funny, educational show “The Amazing Nano Brothers Juggling Show” at the Museum of Science.
