Avner Eisenberg is a master of the art of physical comedy, an internationally-known American vaudeville performer, clown, mime, juggler and sleight-of-hand magician. Avner weaves a spell of poetic simplicity in a show of hilarious predicaments. He is probably best known for his endearing portrayal of The Jewel, the scene-stealing holy man, in The Jewel of the Nile, co-starring Michael Douglas. Exceptions to Gravity, which was a hit show on Broadway, defies the barriers of language and culture and has toured extensively in the United States and abroad. The New York Times says, "Here is what Avner the Eccentric does best: He reduces his audience to laughter and giggles and applause."
