TV and in Vegas! Now this crazed comic/magician/juggler promises fun for
the entire family right here at the Fringe! VENUE: SHELTON THEATRE THURSDAY 12 10:30 PM $8
BIOGRAPHY The year - 1975. The place - San Francisco State University. IT happens! - An event that would change life as we know it! Fred Anderson learned to juggle... From the day one he was hooked! He used his new found obsession to work his way thru college by performing at local festivals and events. The juggling was so much more fun than Fred's "real" field, (computer science) that after college he decided to juggle full time...and never looked back!
Since then Fred has performed the world over for major international festivals including two World's Fairs, The New York Comedy Festival, The Hong Kong Fringe Festival and the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival. This is his second appearance at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival after falling in love with the "scene?at Fringe 2000. His US TV appearances include several spots on A & E's An Evening At The Improv and he has opened for Dennis Miller, Dana Carvey, Tanya Tucker, John Mellencamp and The Beach Boys.
