They might not be brothers nor do they fly but these four juggle with no little skill and plentry of humour.
The Flying Karamazov Brothers perform their comedic juggling act in theatres and on television across the United States. They are in Dublin for a week of shows at the Project Theatre.
Introducing the troupe, Gay Byrne says,
I think that they're one of the best acts that you will have seen at any time, anywhere.
To the delight of the audience The Flying Karamazov Brothers effortlessly juggle multiple skittles, tossing them between each other while delivering a witty, running commentary. The stakes are raised further by juggling six razor sharp sickles. The act reaches its climax with a six blazing torches routine, performed with the help of a visibly nervous volunteer, Gay Byrne.
This episode of The Late Late Show was broadcast on 16 May 1981. The presenter is Gay Byrne.
