For Immediate Release

June 6, 2007

The phrase “nothing less than brilliant” (Performance Magazine) has been used to describe the outrageous comedy antics and expertly-crafted juggling feats of Mark Nizer.  

His unique performance combines original comedy, world-class juggling, movement, music, and technology in a spellbinding series of incredible feats that change the way people view the world.  Making a repeat Paramount performance for audience members of all ages, Mark Nizer will appear on Saturday, June 23 at 4 pm. 

 Since winning First Place in the International Juggling Championships, Collegiate Entertainer of the Year, and Comedy Entertainer of the Year, Mark Nizer has been making the impossible possible.  

Whether juggling four brilliant lasers at 1,000 revolutions per minute, throwing five ping pong balls 20 feet in the air using only his mouth, or even juggling a burning propane tank with a running electric carving knife and a 16-pound bowling ball, audiences discover that Mark Nizer is "the juggler your mother warned you about"  ... or should have.   It was Nizer’s own mother who enrolled him in a juggling class at age 13, starting him on a journey that’s now enabled him to thrill audiences for more than 20 years.

Nizer has taken his one-man show to venues including The Improv, The Comedy Store, Walt Disney World, the Kennedy Center, and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.  His exploits have landed him on MTV, HBO’s Just for Laughs, Comic Strip Live, The Arsenio Hall Show, and Bob Hope and Other Young Comedians.

He has opened for Jerry Seinfeld, George Burns, John Byner, Gladys Knight, The Temptations, Johnny Mathis, Ray Charles, and Barry Manilow.  As said by Entertainment Magazine, "Without a doubt the hottest juggler on the entertainment market, Mark Nizer is simply incredible."

Tickets for Expect the Impossible with Mark Nizer on Saturday, June 23 are $24.50, $27.50, $30.50, and $35.50.  A Youth/Child price of $24.50 is available to those aged 12 and under.  Half-price student rush tickets and group discounts are also available.
