2024 Busker Fest Headliners

The Hockey Circus Show

Salt Lake City has hockey fever, and PAZ The Sports Guy is on deck to stoke the fire. Making the trek from the Great White North, PAZ delivers hockey at its funniest with a  combination of acrobatics, juggling, and one-of-a-kind hockey stunts. This show brings three periods of hilarious hockey fun to Busker Fest for fans and non-fans alike.

The Unicycling Unicorn

A Minnesota legend, this show includes a bright white rainbow vintage onesie ski suit, 80’s music and a unicorn riding a 12-foot unicorn unicycle. Yes, it's as crazy, funny and ridiculous as it sounds! Featuring unbelievable unicycle skills by a world champion unicyclist who has over 34 years of experience. For the brand new finale, this daredevil will be on top of one of the tallest unicycles in the world juggling a torch, a knife and a surprise dangerous object that has killed more people than sharks last year! An original grand finale that you have never seen before as he is the only person in the universe brave...or stupid...enough to do it.

Marcus, Funny Man Who Does Tricks

Utah’s own busker for hire, Marcus Wilson was born on April Fools day 1973, so it seems only fitting that he has a passion for jokes. This passion kept him in trouble all through elementary and jr. high school. In ninth grade, he enrolled in a drama class and discovered a place where acting out was encouraged and accepted.

Famous for his juggling prowess, off-beat humor and amazing feats of balance, the Funny Man Who Does Tricks show consists of stand up comedy, juggling, yo-yo tricks, catching a bowling ball with his face, manipulating boxes, juggling ping pong balls using nothing but his mouth, musical interludes, prop comedy, an egg and a death defying balancing/ knife juggling act. It’s an unbelievable show that you won’t forget

The Cate Great Show

What can be said about the Cate Great! Show that isn’t in the name? Cate blends high-end circus with unique comedy. You will be charmed by her wit and astounded by her skill. Whether she is precariously balanced on her rolla bolla or defying gravity balanced on her hands you will be thrilled and amazed (don’t know what a rolla bolla is? Come down to the show, you will not be disappointed).
