Oop’s To late to edit, I made a little mistake above my thread.
Kirstian Schimd was in Neighbours in 1993 not 1989 as I describe.
Sorry about that. But here’s the Picture of him.

Do I sense a conspiracy against unicyclists? If not, can I make one up?
Of cause you can Paco, as long it is clean and not harm by others.

Harper was being cryptic as usual. For all of you that have been trying to figure this out, the celebrity is the log that John Childs is riding on. Its grandfather the General Sherman tree.

I know some of you leapt to the conclusion that it was the skinny that was the celebrity, but that was premature. The only celebrity skinny is Olive Oyl.

Re: Celebrities (and quasi celebrities) that unicycle, juggle, etc
Long dead of course, but W.C. Fields was a professional juggler before he became known for comedic films. He is actually in the Juggling Hall of Fame, which is not a large group.
Penn Gillette of Penn & Teller fame is a world class juggler.
According to a thread on the muniac site, former world champion slalom skiier Ingmar Stenmark is a unicyclist.
Wish I had gotten to posting Vic Wooten first. He is amazing…
I am almost positive I saw an episode of “Full House” in which Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber), the annoying neighbor and friend of D.J.'s rode a giraffe unicycle. However, after searching over an hour for a statement or picture verifying this, I have come up empty.
I’ve seen Andrea Barber AKA “Kimmy Kibler” from Full House riding in one episode.
whoops; did’nt read your post.
That’s Right Hell-on-wheel, Your Right. It’s the Episode 68 of “Our Very own Telethon”. I got that on tape. She rides a looks like a 24’ wheel Standard Unicycle (Maybe 20’ Wheel if someone correct me). She rode around the chair to wake the host up. She was good I thought.
David
Please don’t tell me that you tape every episode of Full House!
What, you don’t???
No Paco Just one. That Particular one I really need. As I was into Collecting Unicycling and Juggling Articules on T.V at the time. I got most of it But I miss a fair bit of it. Some from the Mary Hart Show “Greatest Circuses of the World” that was aired early in the Morning about 6.00AM back in 1993 & 1994. Sorry Paco Just one Mate. I have tape a Woman on a Unicycle in a Coca-Cola Ad back then and I got it on Tape. In Good Condition too. An Aussie ad by the way.

Danny Bonaduce of Partridge Family fame can unicycle. A few years ago when he was a DJ in the Detroit area we went to a local park to participate in a unicycle joust with him.
Some people will do anything to get on the radio.
OK, here’s a definite quasi(-non-)celebrity who rides (or rode) a unicycle:
Todd Rundgren’s wife’s brother.
Hello, It’s She

Todd Rundgren’s wife puts Hawaii on hold for laughs…
…I've had such a great life,' Rundgren said.
It’s been really fun. My brother and I were both in a youth circus in Oregon, and we traveled all over. I started out on the trapeze, and he ate fire and rode unicycles.’

I can’t believe no skaters have said this yet.
I’m pretty sure Rodney Mullen can ride a unicycle, he has definately been pictured with them before for skating magazines. If you don’t know who he is he’s just the guy that invented the ollie, kickflip and heelflip and many others I believe
Chip Foose, the legendary hotrod builder can ride. In the new show Overhaulin’ on TLC, He rides into his shop on a giraffe. I was pretty excited as you dont see unicycles much on T.V. unless it’s Kris or something to do with the circus.
Marilyn Manson stiltwalks in one of his videos.
But that’s on DuraSilts, which are the wimps’ way out!
I was watching “Runaway Bride” and the guy who plays Julia Robert’s father (Paul Dooley) juggles three oranges. He doesn’t do any tricks, but he definitely knows what he’s doing.
Edit: It looks like Paul Dooley was a professional clown in a previous life (check his biography).
I have seen the character Captain Feathersword on the kids television show “The Wiggles” ride a unicycle a couple of times. My wife was watching it yesterday morning with my daughter. The storyline was a “celebrity” come to the wigggles looking for someone who is talented. None of the wiggles talents a particularly interesting to her. THen Captain Feathersword rides the unicycle for her and she is really impressed.
I also caught about a 20 second clipp of some other kids show that happened to be on a few weeks ago. One of the actors rode in throught the door on a unicycle and circled the room. If I checked what show it was on I no longer remember.
Terry Nichols unicycles and does handstands. Why this came up in Court is beyond me, though.
