Biography

Fred Garbo

Fred Garbo has been a professional performer since 1974 (when someone gave him real money for doing card tricks). He has been the man inside Sesame Street’s Barkley the Dog; and on Broadway was the chief juggler in the hit musical Barnum. He performed in the high-flying, torch twirling, Obie Award-winning Foolsfire, (with partners Michael Moschen and Bob Berky) which toured Europe, Hong Kong and Australia after a successful off-Broadway run. He even tumbled at Lincoln Center with the New York Opera’s Turandot, and worked with MOMIX Dance Company in Brazil. For the last 19 years he has been inventing inflatables with artist/builder George York. He trained and performed with the Master of Illusion, Tony Montanaro and snowboards every chance he gets! In recognition of excellence in the art of juggling through professional performance the International Jugglers’ Association presented Fred Garbo with the ‘Award of Excellence’ this summer.
