Imagine an event where laughter fills the room, jaws drop in amazement, and the energy is palpable. This is the experience delivered by The Passing Zone, the dynamic comedy juggling duo of Jon Wee and Owen Morse. With a unique blend of high-risk stunts, impeccable timing, and infectious humor, they captivate audiences worldwide, transforming ordinary events into unforgettable spectacles.
Jon Wee and Owen Morse, hailing from Minnesota and California respectively, first crossed paths at a juggling convention in 1986. Recognizing a shared passion and complementary skill set, they officially teamed up in 1988. Their collaboration quickly garnered attention, earning them a Gold Medal at the International Jugglers’ Association (IJA) Teams Competition just a year later. This accolade was the first of many, as they went on to secure 18 gold medals from the IJA and set five Guinness World Records.
Their innovative performances have graced numerous prestigious stages. They’ve entertained at the Royal Variety Performance in London for Prince Charles, appeared on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson, and were finalists on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.” Their film debut saw them doubling for Raúl Juliá and Christopher Lloyd in “The Addams Family,” showcasing their versatility beyond live performances.
The Passing Zone’s act is a seamless fusion of comedy and juggling, where precision meets humor. Their repertoire includes daring feats like “The Chainsaw Ballet,” performed to “The Blue Danube,” and “people juggling,” which involves audience members in their routines. Such acts not only demonstrate their technical prowess but also their ability to engage and enthrall audiences.
Beyond entertainment, Jon and Owen are esteemed keynote speakers, focusing on themes of teamwork, innovation, and collaboration. Their presentations are not just talks but interactive experiences that illustrate the importance of trust, communication, and collective effort. By incorporating company products and messages into their acts, they offer tailored performances that resonate deeply with corporate audiences.

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
