It's a lively conversation as deep as it is entertaining.
“The irrepressible Joel Salom is an outstanding all-round comic, whether as a skill-fully
inept acrobat or artfully off-colour juggler. Popping ping pong balls out of his mouth
(with references to the whole digestive system), flinging clubs impossibly fast.. playing
electronic percussion with bounced balls and executing a hilarious reversal on the old
dropped-pants shtick. He’s also the genius behind the show’s other stand-up comic, a
blithely satiric little robot dog named Erik.” Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle.
Both Joel and Erik worked with Circus Oz for two years, in Mexico, the USA (New York,
Pittsburgh, Arcata, Galveston), Hong Kong, Edinburgh and Australia. Joel played Ring
Master, graced the flying trapeze and was also a juggler, clown and acrobat.
Joel’s theatre show GADGETS with musicians Jim Dunlop and Marko Simec has toured
to over 60 theatres in Australia and won the 'Innovation Award' at the Drover Awards. Also it has been performed at the Keo Chang Festival of Theatre(South Korea),Berlin
Lacht Festival, Bern Music festival (Switzerland), La Chaux Du Fond(Switzerland),
Karavaan festival (Holland),The Woodford Folk Festival, HOOPLA Circus and Street
Theatre Festival (Darling Harbour) and The Taranaki Arts Festival (New Zealand).
As an independent artist Joel has performed in Australia, U.S.A (Seattle, San Francisco
and Costa Mesa with Teatro Zinzanni), Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland, France,
England, Scotland, Zimbabwe, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
Corporate shows for Toshiba, Sony, Cirque Du Soleil, Bombay Times, Davidoff
