Juggle & Giggle

I saw The Flying Karamazov Brothers act for the first time at the Scarborough Renaissance Festival in Waxahachie--that is, if I remember correctly. But I've seen them a few times since, and what I can tell you with certainty is that none of the members of the comedic troupe are...

I saw The Flying Karamazov Brothers act for the first time at the Scarborough Renaissance Festival in Waxahachie--that is, if I remember correctly. But I've seen them a few times since, and what I can tell you with certainty is that none of the members of the comedic troupe are named Karamazov, they aren't actually brothers and none of them can fly. They're from California. And they juggle. Juglito ergo sum--I juggle, therefore I am--is the group's motto, or more appropriately, credo. The Brothers' vaudevillian shtick merges their juggling act with slapstick high jinks and musical numbers. As far as juggling-musical-comedic troupes go, they have the market cornered. Tonight, they'll be bringing their act to Bass Hall, Fourth and Calhoun streets in Fort Worth, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $17.50 to $75. For more information, visit basshall.com.
