I just got back from the Festival of Fools in Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK. I had a lovely time, met a lot of really great performers, and was treated like a king! Thanks to everyone who made it happen and who came to see me perform.

When I was telling people where I was going I felt a little confused if I was going to Ireland, Northern Ireland, the UK, Belfast, or somewhere else. If you are as confused as I was check out this video.

Still confused? Yeah me too…

The festival actually used my “mug” as the face of this year’s event! I was on Billboards, Posters, The Program Cover, and on 70,000 Beer Mats/Coasters around the city. I got to act like a celebrity as I got recognized around the city and I would even sign people’s programs (even when they didn’t ask or make eye contact).

I had a few days to travel and got to see the Giants Causeway. Beautiful! If I had to describe my trip in 3 words I’d say… Green, Rocks, Sheep. I highly recommend visiting if you get the chance.

Check out some photos from my trip.

I’m heading to New York City in March to debut my latest creation “Stunt Lab” along with my pal Mark Hayward. This show is a mix of make favorite things; Unique Stunts, Comedy, and World Record Attempts. If you are going to be in NYC next month it would be great to see you at the show.

Stunt Lab:

Mark and Jonathan have been flaunting their useless skills for years, and are at the top of the circus/variety arts field, but they are concerned because recently a competitor has emerged. They have decided to get seriously scientific about their latest undertaking; breaking a World Record. Using everyday objects, their quick wit, and years of training, this duo creates unique and unusual tricks and stunts that are sure to please thrill seekers of all ages.

Join this unlikely pair in their laboratory as they prepare themselves mentally and physically to be the best at useless skills no one else would or should attempt in pursuit of “The Greatest Stunt of All Time”.
