The comedy/juggling duo of Jon Wee and Owen Morse, known as The Passing Zone, will perform in Aiken March 17 and 18, displaying an act that has been featured on The Tonight Show, Today show, and America's Got Talent and has garnered them four Guinness World Records and an invitation to The White House, according to an Aiken Performing Arts news release.
Their latest show, called Gravity Attacks!, is being made possible through Aiken Performing Arts and will take place at 8 p.m. March 17 and 18 at the URS Center for the Performing Arts in Aiken.
As part of the show, Jon and Owen invite audience participation and incorporate everything from flying chainsaws to torches to knives in their bout against gravity. The objects are juggled. The show also sometimes might involve three people from the audience being placed in astronaut suits and seeming to float through the air around one another, narrowly escaping a collision.

The show is dubbed a "High-Impact Comic Adventure" as Jon and Owen incorporate lots of family-friendly comedy into the routine. Aiken Performing Arts officials say the show is one they sought out for its uniqueness and all it has to offer.
"When we saw them at the Performing Arts Exchange conference, we knew we had to have them here," said Cathy Traver, the arts administrator for Aiken Performing Arts.
"This is a terrific show," added Aiken Performing Arts Board Chairman Tom Hofstetter.
Tickets can be purchased at the URS Center For the Performing Arts box office, by calling (803) 648-1438 or via the website www.APAGonline.org. This cost is $40 for adults and $20 for students with their school ID.
