At the age of 14, David Harris knew exactly what he wanted to be when he grew up: a professional yo-yo player. This dream led to a 20-year pursuit of odd hobbies - juggling feats, inspired paddleball moves, seemingly impossible stunts with folding chairs, and shopping bag dancing. On a journey at times both embarrassing and hilarious, David finds yo-yo masters, paddleball kings, and wedding rings. Written and performed by David Harris, this comedy also features drummer Sam Mistry, a 15 year old student at the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists.

"Portrait of the Artist as a Yo-Yo Man" is about much more than just yo-yos. David tells the story of how a simple toy influenced his journey from street juggler to physical comedian, performance artist, and ultimately, husband. At one point in his early twenties, David became aware that his obsession with juggling, yo-yos, and other hobbies was a bit odd and very nerdy. This somewhat shocking realization convinced him to give up every trick he had learned and to begin the process of redefining himself as an artist. But in this show, he dusts those tricks off, and shares thim with us! "Portrait of the Artist as a Yo-Yo Man" is a reflection of that common human experience of assimilating the old, starting from scratch, and creating something new.

An autobiographical acrobatic comedy, written and performed by David Harris, and featuring Sam Mistry. Recommended for ages 13+. 60 minutes.

At the age of 14, David Harris knew exactly what he wanted to be, a professional yo-yo player. This dream led to a 20-year pursuit of odd hobbies; seemingly impossible stunts with folding chairs, shopping bag dancing, juggling feats, and inspired paddleball moves. Along this unexpected, hilarious, and often embarrassing journey, David finds amazing yo-yo masters, paddleball kings, and wedding rings. Also featured in the show is drummer Sam Mistry, a 14 year old student at the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists and a resident of the Midway area of St. Paul.
