John Park became a professional juggler when he was just 14, working with Mike Goudeau, another Comedy Industries regular.
In 1980 John and Scott began performing together as The American Dream Comedy Team to work their way through college. After graduation, they toured throughout the world from London to Hong Kong to Saudi Arabia, Japan, Australia, and Bakersfield.
As a soloist John has been featured in International performance festivals including: The Edinburgh Festival of The Arts, Halifax International Busker Fest, Nashville Summer Lights Festival, The Limburg Festival in Holland, Möers Comedy Festival in Germany, The Edmonton International Busker Fest, The Ottawa International Busker Festival, The Denver International Busker Festival, Vancouver Fringe Festival, Osaka Aquarium Festival in Japan, Winnipeg International Children’s Festival, St. Johns Busker Festival, The Ann Arbor Art Fair, The Windsor International Busker Fest in England, The Waterloo Busker Carnival, Rotterdam’s Street Performers Festival, The New Zealand Festival of the Arts, and more Harvest Festivals, Renaissance Fairs, State Fairs, and Trade Shows than you have time to download.
Along with all the standard juggling props like clubs, knives, torches, and bowling balls, John is an expert in the ridiculous art of plate spinning.
His mother is very proud. His wife, a university professor of economics, is quietly amused. His precocious son and daughter are not even surprised.
