A master of the art of physical comedy, Avner weaves a spell of poetic simplicity in a show of hilarious predicaments.

Avner has appeared on Broadway with his hit show "Avner the Eccentric", and as the ventriloquist in Ghetto, for which his dummy received a Tony Award nomination. He appeared in The Comedy of Errors at Lincoln Center and nationally on PBS.

Internationally, Avner has won juried awards at the Edinburgh Festival, Leipzig Laugh Festival, St. Gervais International Theatre Festival, Barcelona International Clown Festival and the International Circus Festival in Monaco, among others, and has performed repeatedly on four continents.

Avner's new show, Exceptions to Gravity, defies the barriers of language and culture.
