Anthony Gatto (born Anthony Commarota on April 14, 1973)[1][2] is an American juggler who holds nine official, JISCON-verified world records,[3] and is regarded by many as the most skilled juggler in the world.[4] He was voted the world's most popular juggler in Luke Burrage's Top 40 Jugglers poll in 2003 and 2005,[5][6] and he has been in the top 40 every year since the chart began in 2003 except 2016 and 2019.[7] He is the only juggler who has ever won the Golden Clown award at the International Circus Festival of Monte-Carlo[8], and he is the only juggler who has been featured on a Topps trading card.[4][9]
Anthony was born in Manhattan, New York, and grew up in Ellicott City, Maryland.[10] He started juggling when he was almost four years old,[11] and won the IJA Junior Championship at the age of eight in his first year competing.[10][12] He was trained by his stepfather[1] Nick Gatto, a former vaudeville entertainer and a member of the Los Gatos acrobatic trio,[10] who had had years of training as a coach in several fields, including boxing and gymnastics.[13] Anthony began performing professionally in Las Vegas at age ten. He has performed in the Cirque du Soleil shows Kooza (2007-2009) and La Nouba (2010-2012).[14][15]
