He's juggled chainsaws, tempted fate with fire, and balanced on big unicycles, but these are all footnotes to his wise-cracking, mile-a-minute laughs. While most comedians tell jokes from the safety of the stage, Alex brings it to the next level finishing his act from high above the crowd balanced atop a free standing ladder. It's dangerous, but it makes him one comedian that stands above the rest. (#literally!) His act is polished, riveting, and hilarious; the perfect mix of both awe and laughter.

His passion for entertaining was recognized at an early age when he was accepted into Pioneer Valley Performing Arts High School.

Finding that school was not enough, Alex began performing regionally first through his comedy duo, Juggalicious. This two person comedy juggling show earned him several awards including Best Act at the Majestic Theater Talent Showcase.

With his new partner Dave, they performed across the globe as one of the nation's best juggling duos. They received numerous awards for their work in colleges and even have a plaque with their name on it. Six years later it was time to take on the ultimate challenge, entertaining the crowd with the same amount of vim and vigor that two men provide, but doing it solo.
