Ann Lincoln
Ann started her passion 26 years ago when she first taught herself to juggle with lemons and limes. An Ann Lincoln show contains standup comedy, expert juggling, circus skills, and magic involving birds, bunnies and audience members. It may even include Ann juggling two bowling balls while eating an apple! Ann’s unique act engages all of your senses. As a spectator, you feel the weight of bowling balls being juggled and hear the coo of her magical dove. You will also talk about the show you have just seen for weeks to come.
