The Passing Zone      

Comedy-Juggling Duo & Corporate Entertainers

Looking for something different? You put on a great meeting last time, but now you have to top it. You need something unexpected, unique, fresh, not just the same old speaker, comedian, magician or band.

You found something different. You found roaring chainsaws, cheering attendees, flaming torches and knives flying through the air! You found an experience. You found a surprise. You found genuine laughter, the kind that makes your face hurt.

You found two grown men who demonstrate partnership and collaboration by DOING, with rapid-fire banter, throwing sickles around the body of someone from the audience (or your CEO) as they receive a standing ovation. You found three of your people in astronaut suits flying through the air. You found danger (or so it would seem), laughter, and an inspirational experience your people will never forget.

Jon & Owen have been awarded five Guinness World Records and 18 Gold Medals from the International Juggler’s Association. They were presented with that organization’s Award of Excellence, for “excellence in the art of juggling through professional performance,” which is the most prestigious award in juggling (essentially the Juggling Hall of Fame). They remain THE most decorated and awarded juggling duo in the history of the craft. In addition, they have been inducted into the National Speaker’s Association’s Speaker Hall of Fame, a highly prestigious credential awarded only to the most elite and accomplished keynote speakers in the world.

Jon and Owen are known as much for their comedy as their keynoting and juggling skills. They were featured twice on the gala stage at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal and have opened for comedians Jay Leno, George Carlin, Bob Newhart, Bob Hope, and Penn & Teller. Television appearances have included “Comic Strip Live,” “CNN’s Road Warriors,” “Hell’s Kitchen,” “An Evening at The Improv,” “MADtv,” Penn & Teller’s “Sin City Spectacular,” “Steve Harvey’s Big Time,” and regular returns to NBC’s “Today.” They have also been commentators on ESPN for their coverage of the World Juggling Federation competitions, and the Moxie Games at SkillCon.

You found what you’re looking for. You found The Passing Zone.

Teamwork: The Power of Partnerships

Jon and Owen don't just talk about teamwork - they DO it. The Passing Zone shows your people how to be a high-performance team. It takes trust, cooperation, communication, and practice. Chainsaws fly through the air, audience members become part of the team, and your group will laugh, gasp, and wipe tears from their eyes during this hilarious keynote from one of America's most dynamic performing duos.

The Passing Zone on I.C.E.!

Innovation. Collaboration. Execution. These are the cornerstones of success for this exciting and hilarious duo. In this new keynote, Jon and Owen show your group how these principles lead to success, all while having a great time. If your people can Innovate, Collaborate, and Execute, they can accomplish great things (even without 3 chainsaws!). Serve your next event over ICE!

Elevate & Apply I.C.E.

Onward and upward! Now more than ever, people need to feel uplifted. We have been enduring a challenging time, and as the world opens up, opportunities abound for your people to reach a new elevation. And have more fun! Sometimes the simple measures work best, to heal, move forward, and become the best you can be. As any good doctor will tell you, “Elevate and apply I.C.E.” (Innovation, Collaboration, and Execution). These three concepts are crucial for the success of any group, post-pandemic, or any time.

Innovation – Stay on the cutting edge, find ways to do things better, and stay ahead of your competitors. Creativity, technology, thinking differently – it’s what this show is all about!

Collaboration – Work well with those around you, whether it be your internal team, your suppliers, or your customers. There is no better resource than the strength of your people, and the ability to combine the abilities of diverse individuals. Jon & Owen don’t just talk about collaboration, they do it on stage.

Execution – Planning for success is just the first step. Now you have to do it, and do it with excellence, focus, and persistence. The Passing Zone will show you how they execute, and will encourage your group to stay on target and be their best.

Jon and Owen will take your people on a wild ride, full of laughter, crazy stunts, audience interaction, and mind-blowing skills. While they are doubled over with laughter, the audience will see themselves, one another, and their goals with a whole new perspective.

It’s time to Elevate: apply I.C.E!
