Multi-award-winning Cirque du Soleil juggler Thom Wall - the Master of Modern Vaudeville - wows audiences worldwide. A dazzling performer, he surprises audiences with nearly impossible tricks using household objects.
Thom's unparalleled variety show combines sophisticated Vaudeville revival acts with spectacular juggling technique. He’s shared the stage with the Rockettes at the Radio City Music Hall, performed for diplomats and dignitaries at the Smithsonian Institution, and juggled for thousands on stages and in circus tents around the world... but it’s all been practice for the day he gets to perform for you!
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Thom Wall is an American juggler who specializes in juggling disciplines from the past. After completing a five-year tour juggling for Cirque du Soleil's Totem (2014-2019), Wall now resides in Philadelphia where he researches circus history, consults for nonprofits, and coaches juggling and performance at Circadium: School of Contemporary Circus. When not at home, he’s performing his solo show On the Topic of Juggling on cruise ships and stages around the world.
