Juggling and unicycling? Is that juggling and unicycling at the same time? Or a weekend of half a circus tent of ball-flinging and half a tent of back and forth unicycling?

Turns out, it’s more. Oh, so much more. The Berkeley Jugginlg and Unicycle Festival has a full schedule of performances and workshops lined up this Saturday and Sunday, including “Advanced Poi,” “Laughter Yoga,” and “Whip Cracking.” For those of you just looking to brush up on your “Machine/Robot variations with 3 to 5 Balls” or “Eccentric Performing and Juggling”, they’ve got space for you, too.

If you were just looking for a chill weekend off of midterms with a game of unicycle tug-of-war, perhaps a nice, relaxing uni ride through Marc’s Malicious Obstacle Course of Doom, search no further! BJUF happens to host just that!

According to their website, they’re still looking for 30-second performances and talented jugglers/unicyclers/circus run-aways to host workshops at the festival. They are also looking for volunteer teacher jugglers – er, juggler teachers? – to help teach the noobs.

Freaks unite! Sounds like it’s going to be a wild time here in Berkeley, this weekend.
