Thom Wall

After completing a five-year tour with Cirque Du Soleil in January and juggling tours around the country, circus performer and variety artist Thom Wall returns to his hometown of St. Louis on Saturday, June 15, for World Juggling Day. Wall will be performing a free show at the Carpenter Branch of the St. Louis Public Library (3309 South Grand Boulevard; 314-772-6586) at 3:30 p.m. “It’s my first time coming back to St. Louis to perform in a little while,” Wall said. “It’s gonna be a whole lot of fun,” he said. “If you imagine stand-up comedy combined with TEDx, combined with a juggling show, that’s basically what this event is gonna be like.” In addition to juggling, Wall will sign his self-published book Juggling – From Antiquity to the Middle Ages (Modern Vaudeville Press). The book, which won an award for best non-fiction title from Next Generation Indie Book Awards in 2019, will be sold on-during the event.
