Meet the IJA Board of Directors!
Let’s introduce: Biz Olbrisch!
Biz began his juggling journey in 1996 by attending the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Clown College and performing comedy juggling on tour as the Ringling Brothers Advance Clown. Since then, he has performed comedy juggling shows in many forms as Biz the Clown.
Biz lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is a committed member of the Minnesota Neverthriving and helps organize the annual MONDO festival. He has been an IJA member since 2009, has attended 11 in-person IJA fests and a large number of regional fests. He has done almost everything it’s possible to do at a juggling festival: run games, vended merchandise, introduced sports, announced events, busked, judged competitions, taught workshops, hosted Renegade shows, emceed and performed in Gala shows, officiated at juggling weddings, pulled shenanigans, and more.
His interests outside of juggling include cycling, cooking, literature, and dexterity games.
Biz is very honored to have been elected to the IJA board. He thinks you should go to your local juggling club this week.
