"Complementing [Robin] Williams'
fast-and-furious comedy assault was the more laid-back style of the Raspyni Brothers who
opened the show. Although billed as a juggling act and despite the fact that they actually
do juggle almost the entire time they are on stage, the Raspyni Brothers were a comedy
duo. And a delightfully surprising one at that:"
- Ft. Lauderdale Sun
"A juggling team whose breathtaking
stunts, dry wit, and yeoman-like work ethic made them a sure fire opening act, has made
the jump to headliner status. Judging from a recent performance, the Raspyni Brothers
deserve the promotion."
- Associated Press
"The audience was warmed up for
[Howie] Mandel by a well-oiled comedy/juggling machine called The Raspyni Brothers. Like
Mandel, the brothers didn't take themselves seriously and used audience participation
well. They combined elements of stand-up with some truly amazing juggling feats.

us... very, very funny..."

- L.A. Times
" . . . Brilliant improvisers. A malfunctioning microphone was
handled so well it should be a part of their act!"
- The Edmonton Sun
"... Then the Raspyni Brothers trotted on, and did the joint
light up!"
- Austin Chronicle
"The Raspyni Brothers are world-class jugglers who add
