Billed as "The fastest female juggler in the Word", an extreme understatement. She dropped like everybody else (very rarely) but was so fast the audience never noticed.
A very nice lady to work with. She never said a word about very poor conditions (mainly a unisex dressing room) and showed continuous good humor and total profesionalism.

Lottie and Francis, two performers who are a part of that rare group of Never Before and Never Again...and also two very gracious,warm, down to earth people. We will never forget them.
