Biography
Comedy & Juggling
Comedy, comedy, comedy. That’s what this act is all about. But John Park is no joke-telling stand-up comic. Instead, this performer uses clever juggling and visually engaging comedy routines set to music to make his audience laugh. The crowd is with John all the way – even on stage, as volunteers take part and challenge John laugh for laugh for the comedic spotlight. Don’t be fooled by the picture to the right. This talented showman may look confused, but that’s only acting. Any professional funny man knows never to step on a joke and wait as long as needed for the LAUGHS to subside. (John definitely practices this professional technique often!)
The performance finishes with a real showstopper: Aided by two able-bodied volunteers, John mounts a 6-foot unicycle, juggles three clubs, and, with a comic commentary running the whole time, throws the last club under his leg – the crowd goes wild! The Comedy & Juggling Show pays off big: big laughs, big tricks, and a big, big finish! Kung Fu? Not in this show. But you will see the flying marshmallows, scarf dancing, the water routine and other unusual and funny things that make this comedy and juggling show so ORIGINAL AND STYLISH. (Check out that blue jacket!) …& Laugh, Laugh, Laugh! The Funny Waiter is very proud to present a classic routine some thought was lost to the ages. Plate Spinning! Nine at once! One of the most exciting finales ever has been given a comedy makeover with non-stop laughs.
The Funny Waiter Show
Also, don’t forget to ask about the HOAX WAITER LEAD-IN OPTION during dinner. Based in Toronto and Michigan – Travels Anywhere.
Eat…
See marshmallows become airborne appetizers! John pairs off with a volunteer. Ten steps are paced off. They turn, and each throws a marshmallow to their opponent. Who will catch one in their mouth first? Can you stand the suspense? A never fail routine!
Drink…
But please don’t spill. That big yellow wet floor sign is unsightly but necessary. The epic water drinking duel is always a crowd favourite! Who’s feeling parched? Nothing quenches a thirst like a bottle of cool clear water. Imported, of course. Savor every last drop.
…& Laugh, Laugh, Laugh!
The Funny Waiter is very proud to present a classic routine some thought was lost to the ages. Plate Spinning! Nine at once!

Please note: Due to the intense concentration needed for this extravaganza The Funny Waiter will insist that all cell phones be turned off. Did he remember his own?
John Park’s Experience
At the invitation of the late Bill Graham, John opened for Huey Lewis and the News, The Grateful Dead, and the Jerry Garcia Band.
