Andy Martello: THE Plate-Spinner!

Time for a little plate-spinning fun!

As you know I am "The Last GREAT Plate-Spinner." I enjoy spinning plates for shows as well as in a corporate training seminars.
I've spun plates on national television commercials.
I've spun plates for major corporations.
I've spun plates as the opening act for the wonderful Gladys Knight.

I recently did a search on You Tube for plate-spinners and it turns out that the 2nd most popular plate-spinning video happens to belong to yours truly! If enough people see this and share the link, perhaps we can change all that and make me #1. ;)

Here I am spinning plates on the WGN Morning News
with comedian Anthony Anderson.



Watching that you can see that you don't have to be a professional plate-spinner to have fun at it. Keeping that in mind, here's my world famous PLATE SPINNING GAME from my soon-to-be-updated website.


Click to Play

This game was a viral hit long before there was such a thing. Within weeks of hitting the internet back in 2000, I was getting emails from people around the globe telling me how much fun they were having playing this silly game and how they were emailing the link to friends. This game made the office email circuit years before a You Tube or ANY talking baby videos!

Lastly, here's the aforementioned commercial I was in. This ad ran on nationally CNN, FOX News, & MSNBC and locally in specific Congressional Districts across the country. It landed me in the pages of the New Yoprk Times as well as several newspapers and magazines. It still draws a lot of attention, if not gives a great example as to just why anyone in the TV game gives ole Andy a call when they need top-quality plate-spinning talent!




Feel free to give me a call and book this plate-spinner for your next event. I'd be happy to do it for ya.

THIS WEEK IN ANDY MARTELLO HISTORY!

Andy Martello in the Northwest Herald, May 5, 1988May 5, 1988, found my young and ugly mug featured in the pages of the Northwest Herald newspaper. Click image for larger view.

The interview was conducted in between a series of school shows and conducted/written by Kurt Begalka, who has interviewed me a number of times. I was 17 years old about to make it to 18 and eagerly awaiting results from my application to Ringling Bros. Clown College. I still use some of the jokes in here...and forgot about some good ones. Hmmm...

Among the cool things about this article:

  • I was issued a special pass from my principal to miss classes and take these paid gigs for the students of Zion Lutheran, Hawthorn, and Riley elementary schools
  • It details pretty well the "EUREKA moment" I had while trying to learn to juggle
  • While I'm not at all as famous as I'd promised in the piece, I am STILL WORKING!
Among the bad things:
  • What was up with my hair?
  • What was up with my costume?
  • Again...my hair?
This was a very nice article and I'm happy I still have a copy in the Andy Archives to share with you.
