Pretending to be off-balance on a unicycle is probably a 100 times more difficult than actually balancing on a unicycle.

I'm just here for the helicopter trick

Like Rowan Atkinson. It takes amazing skill to appear incompetent.

The chop trick was cool its like the pins were floating

”I almost dropped one” 🤣

"Thank you... thank you both"

Absolutely Brilliant act. Genuinely funny. Very original. I love the repeat jokes.

Video from the 60's, crystal clear Video from the 70's, crystal clear Video from the 80's, POTATO

I can't tell what parts he actually failed, and I love it

He did the helicopter so casually and ite actually super difficult

I've never been so entertained in my life. Wish I was in that crowd.

The sheer talent of this guy simply cannot be overstated. Also, I really I thought he was going to say ... _"... the riding of the six foot unicycle... much much more dangerous that that, I am going to attempt it with just 2 feet"_

I'm genuinely laughing non stop. I'd have to say he's ahead of his time

Oh, fabulous Frank... He's my juggling mentor. In 1987 when I was in 8th grade, a couple friends and I were forming a juggling trio and Frank generously invited us to his home in Berkeley where he met with us for an hour and gave us tips on all sorts of juggling and performing techniques. Seeing his phenomenal abilities up close and personal helped inspire me take my own juggling to a much higher level and become a professional juggler/entertainer. 15 years later, our paths crossed again... and for about the last 15 years we've played pick-up unicycle basketball every Tuesday in Berkeley whenever we're in town. Here's a clip of it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8iWrb1p2LraZZ8.html (we're both on the red team).

Two excellent acts in one, the comedy and the juggler

There were 4 or 5 of us kids in the neighborhood who rode unicycles. We'd play basketball and street football (of course the qb would be on foot). They were fun as hell. And then I got the Giraffe. Big difference. Scary as hell. Until I finally rode it. What sucked was we would ride everywhere. So if I fell, I would have to stand on someones car and hold on to the eve of their house to get going. And then my dad (who didn't ride) suggested I do what this guy did. That loosened me up a lot. I could crash anywhere. Then I sold it and used the money for Rush tickets. Still have my little one though. And I know you don't care. This just brought back some memories I felt like talking about. Don't act like you don't have childhood memories nobody cares about.

This guy is a genius

Now, I get it, where the phrase ("GOOD OLD DAYS"), comes from.

I remember this being on TV. The "known to those who have tried and failed" line is still part of our family folklore to this day.

Just brilliant. There’s no question he knew exactly what he was doing. He had perfectly timed jokes for the “drops” and when things appeared to be going sideways. Everyone: WOW

Can we all appreciate how he just had a really good time there and laughing his ass off in his own act?

never heard of the guy but that was amazing, riding a 6 ft. unicycle, juggling torches, and telling jokes. all at the same time.

....and these guys did this stuff in a tuxedo. Might as well be a straight jacket.

if it goes wrong you can pretend it's part of the act

Frank really inspired me and pushed me to challenge self mounting the six foot giraffe unicycle back in 1985 in Venice. I practice for hours in the sand on the beach where Frank said was the best place to learn shelf mounting. Days later I finally got it

Most people don’t recognize just how skilled he is… well done

Genuinely FUNNY!!

to pretend things go wrong (which they don't) and do great tricks with such a youthful jo, exuberance and 2 twinkles in the eyes speaks of tons of talent and great skill (earned in thousands of tough, hurtful, frustrating and finally joyful hours)

Brilliant. Love the genuinely good natured humour and clearly Frank is an exceptional exceptional juggler - not just hundreds of hours but thousands must've gone into this so he could execute this stuff all perfectly while acting like its chaos and landing every joke :D

Distinct memories of this guy from 35 years ago now. Happened upon him doing this very act for 'free' - street theatre at Edinburgh Fringe. Brilliant talent!

If he messed up on purpose, he sold it. If he messed up for real, he recovered like a consummate pro. Great act!

I met Frank in 2004 at a juggling convention, though I can't remember now if it was Humboldt or Coeur d'Alene. Didn't know his pedigree, but he was still funny in moment-to-moment interaction and a solid juggler. This fits what I saw of him to a tee. Thanks for uploading!

I remember seeing this when it came out so I went to circus school and learnt how to juggle fire on a 6 foot unicycle.

Comedy every bit as good as his juggling talent.

Wow, not sure how I stumbled upon this video, but that was fantastic! What a wonderful entertainer. Very funny and very impressive. Super fun.

I love how he cracks himself up just as much as the people

I swear this guy is more entertained than the audience.

"A trick so difficult, even _thinking_ about it..."

Absolutely loved this performance. Mixing comedy with juggling was perfect.

I love that he's having fun with it all too

This is the kind of light hearted relief we need in 2020.

Trout swimming up stream killed me

Man is so funny he can't help laughing at his own jokes from the start to the end. Never seen that before from a comedian. Extremely talented too goddamn.

Brilliant - and Paul was a very good sport too.

And here I was proud of myself for mastering the 3 ball cascade.

I remember seeing this back in the '80s, it's a shame we don't get light hearted entertainment like this anymore. Hope he had a good career.

This guy is so cool! First time seen him

Frank Oliver and Michael Davis would be a legendary duo.

Master of the act... Brilliant

This man is amazing. He is an outstanding juggler.y step dad was a juggler in his younger years and he was a good juggler. However, this man's juggling is way more superior and entertaining. Thank you for the hard work😊

Once in a while, when I want to laugh, I keep coming back to this video... This guy is genuinely funny...

great. now i wont be able to hear the word helicopter without laughing xDD

Never realised how naturally funny performers in the 80s were, they've came up with 90% of these jokes on the spot, now a days everything so rehearsed nice to come back and watch some originality.

He's having so much fun. I can't help but be happy while watching.

This guy is refreshing, funny, entertaining, and presents himself in a way that makes one feel better about the world. We could use a whole lot more of that these days - we have too many leaders who are looking like idiots but they aren't pretending and they definitely aren't funny.

Splendid act. Funny, intelligent and brilliantly skilled. Why have I never seen him before?

I think that was the best juggling act I've ever seen! And funny! What an incredible talent!

Outstanding. It brings back so many great memories of watching that type of entertainment either in person or on television. Had me grinning from ear to ear!!!

I really enjoyed this. He did a nice job improvising when the tricks went wrong. Also, he's a hell of a juggler..."ok, people usually applaud here" was hilarious.

The dancing cheek to cheek joke was priceless.

Fantastic, can you imagine the number of hours this guy dedicated to his craft in order to get people to say wow and to clap?

This dude made me clap from my desk at work 😂🤣

One of a kind . Fine , intelligent person

Absolutely brilliant act. Great skill, great comedy. One of the best juggling acts I have seen.

Normally these guys try to make it look effortless :p what a great routine!

When Paul appeared i was expecting applause!

What a trip down memory lane! I used to hang out with a bunch of jugglers in Golden Gate Park in the early 1980s and Frankie was one of the crowd. Really nice guy and very funny. He'd do stuff at Fisherman's wharf, which is where he got those great improv chops.

Met Frank at Venice Boardwalk back in the day; awesome, funny dude and I realized even THEN how much more difficult it is to make something you MASTER look like ya can't do it.....adds to the brilliance, and comedy as well as the relatability. GENIUS.

Wow he is a real genius who can make an audience laugh without using foul language or swearing after each word.

That was incredible!!!

The trout! XD

He is alive? Great. Great. Great performance!

A real fine peace of old school entertainment... Just amazing 👏🏻 After all was the Paul Daniels show 🎩

So talented, & cute, too!

Never seen something like this. Genius. Enjoyed every second of this.

What an absolute craftsman, great clown. lovely

Wow what a great performance 👏👏👏👏

Why are comedians from the 70s 80s more classy than today's

love it love it love it ..........whoaaa!!!

Brilliant talent :)

I saw him in Toronto several times at different street festivals over the years. Great performer.

I loved this❤❤❤....After days I laughed with my heart open

Wow, entertainment through & through.

He's amazing! Making it look goonish must be very difficult. 😱

Estupendo!!!

what a LEGEND!

Genuine talent. Real cabaret. Sadly replaced by up their own arses youtubers.

2019 and estilo is great

A man that can entertain you just as much when he does nothing is talented indeed. (Under neither leg with both hands)

I love this act, he's really enjoying his act.

I enjoyed It a lot.Hé can juggling with objects and juggling with words.surely one of the greatest

Fenomenal

Woooow!!! 🤣

This guy is phenomenal considering tourists can't walk up a lane in Barcelona without bumping into you with their heads in their phones lol.

Woooooooooooow this this guy as amazing had me rolling with laughter

a skilled comedian!

this is the exact definition of talent

Oh man, I laughed heartily at every prank he made and a helicopter joke it's my favourite

I don't know about him, but I busted out into a sweat!

THIS GUY TOOK EVERYTHING! COMEDY JUGGLE CIRCUS
