The Flying Karamazov Brothers (1983) - Part 1 of 8

THE FLYING KARAMAZOV BROTHERS are an incredibly talented juggling team, performing since 1973. They inspired me to learn how to juggle. I hope they do the same for you!

Please excuse the crudeness of the video. It's more than 25 years old on media we humans used to use called analog/magnetic video tape. Enjoy!

JUGGLERS:
Fyodor - Timothy Daniel Furst
Dmitri - Paul David Magid
Smerdyakov - Sam Williams
Ivan - Howard Jay Patterson
Aloysha - Randy Nelson

I remember seeing this on HBO and never thought I would get to see it or laugh so hard again. Thank you SO much for posting this and bringing back good memories.  I know you can find a lot of things on Youtube, but when I did a search for this, I did not expect to see THE episode I remember. I never even knew there were other troupes carrying on the name. As far as I am concerned this was the first, last and best group. Again, THANKS!!!!!

@bbjimbo Thanks for the nice comment. I was totally addicted to this video back then, you can tell the tape is worn out at places. I'm glad I stashed it away so the whole world can see great talent!

[Kayrocker]

@liggytheauthoress My pleasure! Glad you enjoy it!

Kayrocker, you are my hero!!!...I had this on VHS...taped off HBO wa-a-a-ay back in the early 80s (practically a family heirloom!)...and it was lost 3 years ago...

You have made my family very happy!

[Kayrocker]

@hhairball9 You're very welcome! I was surprised I hadn't worn out the tape I watched so often!

[divac63]

I saw them at Lincoln Center in NYC at this time. I'll never forget the brother "falling". have seen them several times since -- love these guys! Thanks!

[sarahelizabethasher]

I saw them live in the '80's juggling, among other things, a cat and a running chainsaw. They were hilarious.

My dad recorded this on our beta machine... must've watched it 200 times. A few years ago, I was fortunate to be able to see them live. Didn't dissapoint.

@bbjimbo

May I add my thanks as well. These guys were one of my favourite acts of the era and I really miss them. Now I can re-live their great show and let others know what they missed thanks to you!

[iambignastyguy]

Looks like they're coming to London this year too!

Actually I hate to be snarky but this never aired on HBO. It was on Showtime. =P

[madhatte73]

Seen these guys live a half-dozen or so times. Damn, they're good.
