Read Full Bio
Comedy juggler Dale Jones has been called the most unique juggler in the world with good reason. Jones invented an entirely new way to juggle in order to compensate for his right hand, which he severely injured at age eight. Featured in both People Magazine and USA Today, the International Juggler’s Association has touted Jones as one of the world’s best jugglers despite his disability.
Dale performs world-class original comedy along with his juggling. In fact his act is so entertaining that after guest starring on the Statler Bros. Show, the producer said, “Dale Jones completely blew us away.”
On concert dates, Dale Jones has shared the stage with Ray Stevens (Anderson Music Hall, Hiawassee, GA); KC & The Sunshine Band (Chip In’s Island Resort & Casino, Harris, MI)’ and Marie Osmond (Rickman Auditorium, Arnold MO) among many others. He has even headlined a one-man show three different times in Branson, MO (Owen’s Theater).
Dale is one of very few jugglers to ever have star status in a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey television special (“Clown College”) CBS).
Indeed, Dale has been featured on many national TV shows including Entertainment Tonight, CBS Evening News, and America’s Funniest People.
Jones “travels in that rare air. He’s certainly one of a kind,” according to The Associated Press article on him. “He fills the act with wit,” said Chicago Sun Times Comedy Reporter, Ernest Tucker.
His act is a highly original, skill packed, belly laugh, with a huge, rousing finish. This allows Dale to state with confidence that “my goal is always to be the most well received entertainer anywhere I perform.”

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses and other costs
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Deposits and securing a booking
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
Additional tips and takeaways
- Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
