David Gilmour from Pink Floyd can juggle.
When I’ve worked for Todd Smith Products (juggling equipment), they told me he once phoned to buy clubs (or fire clubs, I don’t really remember) for himself and was abble to use them…
Now that’s impressive.

Turns out Al Lewis who played Grandpa Munster on The Munsters, and who died this past weekend, was, at one time, a unicyclist. He was also, for those who don’t know, very involved with the Pacifica Radio Network and an outspoken activist in many social causes.
Anyways, it took a UK newspaper, The Independent, to mention his unicycling:

After attending Thomas Jefferson High School, where he excelled as a basketball player, Meister went through jobs as a salesman, waiter, basketball scout, owner of a pool-room and a store detective. At the same time, having been a circus roustabout, cleaning up elephants’ dung, at the age of 13, he satisfied a desire to perform by working his way up to become a clown, unicyclist and trapeze artist.

Hunky GREY’S ANATOMY star PATRICK DEMPSEY began his career as a juggling, unicycle-riding clown. (SS/UO/ES)
Victor’s primary musical influence, Jaco Pastorius, was a juggler.
I’ve been diving into my Jaco collection again these past couple weeks after a few years of neglect. Never anything like him, before or since.
Kiran Shah, who played Ginabrick in The Chronicles of Narnia, as well as was a body double for Elijah Wood in LOTR can juggle, there’s a short shot of him in the making of stuff on the Narnia disc, in full costume, juggling
He also happens to hold the world record for shortest stuntman
once on mtvs next there was someone that could ride a uni
Thanks for that strong value-add to the thread, habby. Glad to see you don’t treat this thread any different from the others in terms of the quality of your responses.
he was on tv, so hes sorta famous
I posted this on another thread already. But Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) from Harry Potter can unicycle. He got a uni for his birthday!
Recently on Mythbusters there was a shot of a uni hanging up in the background of their shop. Later in that episode (or a different episode the same night, I forget) Adam Savage juggled while rolling a large cable spool with his feet (ie, was standup wheel walking on it ;)) so I’m guessing the uni is his, and if t isn’t, I’m guessing he could still ride it
I remember that club passing part, but never noticed that unicycle shot before
(however I have seen other and better footage of it in one of these episodes).
Your link no longer seems to work, but I found a clip of this act on Youtube.
(The only reason I’m digging this thread up is because I was shopping for Christmas presents today and picked up Eddie’s Life Story DVD. The back blurb mentioned his early unicycling act).
Nicolien Sauerbreij is a Dutch female snowboarder who won the 2010 Olympic gold medal in the giant slalom. She rides unicycles in the summer season as a cross training, she said in a recent interview.
Raymond Devos was a talentuous french comic showman, he could ride a unicycle.
He died a few years ago.
