(Queen Rochelle McCollom)
Long time performer and Juggler Rochelle has
been the entertainment for many events. She has a great stage presence and
your adults will love her wit. Rochelle now performs a The Ultimate Comedy
Danger Show with Juggler Dave, but Rochelle can also be seen performing in many
juggling strolls and acting in many different costumes. Rochelle McCollom
was also the organizer of the Cincinnati Club Club, a recreational juggling club
which made all of this possible. Most Cincinnati Jugglers consider
Rochelle their Queen since she was the one who taught us and she was the one who
first suggested that we form a company and begin entertaining.

Yes that right you did see him in the circus! Scott
performed as a trapeze artist in the Florida State Circus. It was there
that he learned to juggle and got bit by the performing bug. If that isn't
enough Scott also performed with the Ohio Renaissance Festival for three years.
Scott is a excellent fencer and has the scars to prove it. He is also an
actor, juggler, stilt walker, whip cracker, and performs some strolling magic.
Scott is great with people and his smile lights rooms. While on gigs Scott
stilt walks, juggles, and tells lots of jokes. He is great at spreading
laughter and has a quick and clever wit. Scott also performs ballet. Okay, I
made that up, but he dreams of performing ballet. Okay, I made that up
too, but Scott really is good.

Dave Willacker has been performing since he made the cast
of the Ohio Renaissance Festival in 1993. He performed with the festival
during the 1993 and 1994 seasons during which time he played a myriad of
characters. While at the festival Dave studied improvisation, acting, and
sword play. Since the Ohio Renaissance festival Dave has never strayed far
from theater dabbling in acting, writing and directing. Dave enjoys
writing original dinner theater entertainment, if you have a challenge let him
know you won't be disappointed. In addition to acting, Dave has pursued
his other two great loves, the study of theology and juggling. Ironically
all three of these skills, acting, theology, and juggling, came together three
years ago. While teaching theology at a Northern Kentucky High School,
Dave and friends began getting requests for shows. Juggler Dave and
Friends was born!
Originally, performing under the name Juggler's Ink to signify
their willingness to adapt and write new material, they began performing many
shows. As time went by they began to acquire new and amazing skills: stilt
walking, magic, fire eating, unicycling, bull whipping, lassoing, and balloons.
Dave went on to combine his knowledge of scripture and history with juggling to
produce an innovative and riveting way of telling bible stories. As Dave
began performing more and more Christian Juggling shows, and as some of the
original members of the group retired the name of the group naturally changed to
Juggler Dave and Friends. Some new members were welcomed and now the
troupe boasts many new skills including: Balancing, Miming, Renaissance Shows,
and Danger Shows.
Today, Dave Willacker is pressing his own boundaries in juggling
and story telling. He continues to bring his ministry to many adult,
family, children's audiences, and is designing new original props. As a
writer he is working on a text book for teaching the Hebrew Scriptures, as well
as original dinner theater murder mysteries.
As a performer Juggler Dave is now developing new props and
skills including a catapult, bed of nails, and lariat. He is also
developing new shows such as the Danger Show and pressing old shows to new
heights. If you enjoyed one of Juggler Dave's performances a couple of
years ago wait till you see him now!
Juggler Dave and Friends have performed at hundreds of places
including for: The Cincinnati Reds, The Cincinnati Zoo, The Cincinnati Symphony
Orchestra, The Cincinnati Ballet, Union Terminal, Proctor and Gamble, General
Electric, Sawyer Point, Sharonville Recreation Center, Evendale Recreation
Center, many Churches, many Parades, many Schools, many Golf Courses, many
Libraries, many Weddings, and Hundreds of Birthday parties.
