ABOUT US

If you landed on this page, you either a) know how to juggle, and don't want to look like a freak juggling all by yourself in the gazebo; or b) you don't know how to juggle and want to learn; or c) you've seen us on the HUB lawn throwing a lot of stuff in the air, and wondered who those nitwits were and why they seem to travel in packs.

Well, we're those nitwits. 
Hi, we're the Penn State Juggling Club!                                              
                                                                                                  

We are a quite dynamic group of people who love to perform, and love even more to goof around and find more interesting methods of procrastination. We juggle everything you can think of: balls, beanbags, clubs, rings, knives, fire, doughnuts, frozen Spanish mackerel...we also ride unicycles, wear mesh gym shorts, spin diabolos, knock about devilsticks, and teach others how to juggle.
 

Once or twice a semester we perform a show at the HUB as part of Late-Night Penn State; usually involving some sort of frenetic screaming and David Lee Roth.  Due to the graduation of beloved former president Charles Gardiner, however; we realised that none of us possessed a strong-enough larynx to facsimilate such a feat.   We, however, plan to carry the torch ignited by Chuck, and continue entertaining the Penn State Community with our combined talents.

In the past we have performed at various events and places, either en masse or individually: the Homecoming Parade; THON; the 4th of July shindig; the Madrigal Dinner (State College Choral Society); The Centre Hall Branch Library; various dorm picnics; you name it.  We have also been spotted post-shows in strange clothing, wandering about State College late at night, in search of food.
                                     

 
 

VERY IMPORTANT: We are not a circus; nor do any of us aspire to be in a circus.  Please do not sing that "doo-doo-doodoodoodoo-doo-doo-doo-dooooo" song at us, because it is very likely that one of us, at the very least, will endeavour to chase after you with  a) a juggling club (if you're lucky) b) a machete  (yes, they're real and they're fantastic) c) a lit torch
Other than that, we're all extremely laid-back and absolutely willing to show you how to juggle, if you just ask nicely and are willing to give it a whirl!   We might look freakish and share a wacky hobby, but we're the least pretentious people you could possibly ever meet.  Join us!
