Pickled Image
One of the most respected companies on the circuit, with a selection of comic shows and stilt walking spectacles that can be booked either together or separately.
Dan the Hat
A fantastic juggler and clown with a show crammed full of ball spinning, crazy juggling, slick diabolo skills and supreme hat manipulation (not forgetting the awesome cups and spoons), all held together by his brilliant stage persona.
Daft as a Brush
Contemporary clown seeks audience for playful interactive nonsense... Gasp as he struggles through a coat hanger; as the audience race biscuits, for the honour to join Maynard in his now legendary egg catapulting stunt.
Swank
Swank continue to build on their worldwide reputation for dynamic, dazzling and totally interactive character comedy with a choice of colourful creations.
The Splott Brothers
Described as the Fezpians of Street Theatre, the Splott Brothers mix a fun cocktail of eccentric cabaret, comic stupidity and live cheesy music. As the show unfolds from their mobile piano bar, the audience are lured into the stylish and talented world of Splott. The café is set up, the waiter invites the customers to take their seats, and offers them a whole menu of tricks and foolish stunts all backed by exquisitely played silent movie style piano. Music is always played when they move about from site to site between performances.
Bread and Butter Theatre
Multi-talented performers with a consistently friendly approach. Reliable, hardworking and innovative, The Bread and Butter Theatre Company are a perfect act to choose if you are looking for performers who can offer variety throughout the day.
MarkMark Productions
Markmark is one of Britain's leading festival and street theatre companies. Formed in 1990 it continues to develop new and creative performances for many different audiences. Trained by Jacques Lecoq and Philippe Gaulier the actors use a variety of techniques that bring an intuitive, anarchic yet charming humour to all their work.
