The Atari Show

There was a time where simple electronic technologies combined with clever ideas could amaze people who shared their passion and dreams about the future. The Atari Show takes advantage of the new technologies to be use simply, and propose a clever game to amaze people once again.

Goma transforms ordinary situations into unbeleavable funny comedy. Using an Android's based button loop system that contains sounds from famous movies and cartoons, he interact with the world that surrounds him. The audience react with loud laughs, and spontaneus applauses.

Built through years of experience to deliver a highly polished, frequently spontaneus and always hilarious show, it offers the best of both the artistic and skillful. High class contemporary juggling skills, physical comedy, unsynchronized dance moves and up-beat improvisation....And, usually, ALL in one suitcase.

About Me

My name is Juan, but i´m also knowned as an artist under the name 'El Goma'. I'm a comedian and a skillfull juggler originally from Argentina, but living in Germany for the past 15 years.

I started my artistic career juggling in the trafic lights in the street of Buenos Aires in the year 2000. In 2001 i decided to travel to Europe. In 2002 i started performing street shows around South America.

For the last 15 years, i have been performing and learning the most precious secrets of street theater around the globe. My unique approach to the street art phenomenum gave me the posibility to perform in more than 35 countries in 4 continents....the list keeps growing.

I have made a name for myself in the International Street Theater scene, because of my hilarious comedy improvisations, uplifting self created comedy gags, and a remarkable skill to juggle until 7 objects. My shows are usually speechless, so that they fit a universal audience, and are same acclaimed by children and adults, of the most diverse nationalities.

Enjoy yourself watching my show live, browsing around my videos or checking my social media content.
