Anthony Gatto

A juggler without compare

About Me


I was born in Manhattan, spent the early part of my childhood in Ellicott City, Maryland. At almost four years old I was taught how to juggle. At eight years old I won my first juggling competition. The runner up in this competition was none other than the very famous Patrick Dempsey! When I was nine, I entered my first international circus festival in Paris. I won the gold medal there as well. From this point my career took off as a professional juggler.Since then I have managed to have a full schedule as a performer and have shown my ability in over 14 countries and nearly every major hotel on the Las Vegas strip! This year(2007)I have joined Cirque du Soleil for their new touring show "Kooza". Be sure to check out my website to find out more about me: http://www.anthonygatto.com
