HOW IT BEGAN…
One summer, Tim was working in White River with Outward Bound Wilderness School when Rodney Swarek noticed Tim juggling while checking in on the school’s rental site. Just a hobby at the time, Rodney suggested he put his talent on the festival stage, where a hastily planned comedic juggling routine found warm reception with the Northern Ontario crowd. From that point forward, Tim was hooked. He practiced all year to bring more skill to the act before departing on his first performing tour the following summer.
From juggling and unicycling, to ventriloquism and puppetry, Tim gained all his technical skills through years of hard work and dedication. For his stage presence and physical comedy, he is indebted to Michael Kennard (Mump of famed Canadian Clown duo Mump and Smoot) and Avner Eisenburg (aka Avner the Eccentric), who with Julie Goell teach Eccentric Performing out of Celebration Barn in Maine.
