Eastern will be hosting Adam Kario, a corporate entertainer and comedy juggler Friday at 8 p.m. in the MLK Grand Ballroom.

Kario said that he is looking forward to his visit to Eastern and hopes that the audience will enjoy the performance and hopes to have some laughs.

Adam Kario’s career started when he was nine years old when his dad taught him how to juggle and entered his school’s talent show a few weeks later.

He got his picture in the newspaper and a group of jugglers looked Kario up and called and asked him to come juggle with them.

From then on he started performing right away and even started incorporating comedy at a young age.

Kario said that he loves his job and is extremely happy that he had the same job for his whole life and still loves what he does.

In addition to traveling and showing off his juggling skills, Kario brings enthusiasm and energy to every audience.

“It’s also really cool when I’m able to shatter someone’s preconceived notion of a juggler,” Kario said. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard, ‘I didn’t think I’d like a juggler but your show was awesome!’”

According to Kario, it’s not very hard to learn how to juggle three objects.

He said he learned in about five minutes when he was a kid.

Performing for over 20 years, Kario travels all over the country to different cities promoting his comedic juggling act to show people what he is all about.

Some people do not believe juggling is possible, but according to Adam Kario, “I’ve met people who swore there was no way they could ever do it and I had them juggling in no time”.

Kario mentioned that his new routine has become his favorite part of the show because he believes that the finale will be the audience’s favorite part.

His performances are entertaining for all ages because it keeps the audience on the edge of their seats.

Admission is free for the event on Friday and if anyone is in need of any entertainment, the MLK Grand Ballroom at 8 p.m. is where to be.
