Jester Jim, as Jim Maurer calls himself, will perform at the Guilderland Public Library on Aug. 23 at 11 a.m.
Combining juggling, beatbox, and comedy, Jester Jim who is working his magic at the Guilderland Public Library on Tuesday, Aug. 23, at 11 a.m., will offer a variety show that is sure to delight young and old alike.
As Jim Maurer, who goes by Jester Jim, puts it, “This is not your ordinary juggling show!”
With a trunk full of props and a looping machine, he takes the stage and starts his show. You’ll be glued to his every sound as he performs his amazing beatbox intro, and you’ll be talking about his wild antics for weeks.
