A miniature extravaganza!
AWE as the tightrope strains under high-wire artiste Miss Boom-Boom.
GASP at the celebrated Bubonic Brothers, French flea acrobats.
MARVEL at Fearless Francine, the daredevil stunt-flea, as she performs the “Leap of Death” by plummeting into a tiny bucket of water while Allenby’s insurance premiums soar.
Allenby’s FAMOUS Flea Circus is a tongue-in-cheek performance presented by Artemus Allenby – a character based on 1850’s comic orator Artemus Ward. According to Ringmaster Allenby, some of the fleas have been in the circus for exactly 25,312 generations!
There is no doubt Allenby will charm you with his New England Yankee accent, Dickensian language and ingenious depth of characterisation.
Circus comedy that will enthral young and old!
“Dennis Murphy is one of the world’s finest glove-puppeteers.”
