The Lawrence Busker Festival proudly presents:
THE UNICYCLING UNICORN – LIFE IS MAGICAL
A Feature-Length DocumentaryFREE TO ATTEND, DONATIONS APPRECIATED
What does it take to trade a desk job for the open road — and a unicycle for a 44-foot tower of steel?
Meet Jamey Mossengren. Former engineer. Nomad. Street performer. And the most magical one-wheeled daredevil alive.
The Unicycling Unicorn – Life is Magical takes you inside the extraordinary life of a man who walked away from everything to chase joy — performing for thousands across 17 countries, living out of a Sprinter van, and daring to attempt the impossible: riding the tallest unicycle in the world.
This isn't just a movie. It's a celebration of courage, reinvention, and the radical pursuit of a life fully lived.Jamey will be there to a perform a brief demonstration of his uni-skills and answer questions from the audience.
