Amsterdam Tattoo Expo
Amsterdam Tattoo Expo Amsterdam, I think you either love it or hate it. I’m not going to lie- its not for me. The gig was great… but the city… nope. When we were booked to do Amsterdam tattoo Expo I immediately booked us a hotel for a few extra days after our shows so we could have a quick city break together. One of the things people don’t realise about this job is that it seems we get to travel the world, but that’s basically it… we travel the world but don’t see it. We see

Halloween 2018- Cursed with The Steampunk Circus and Cressing Temple Barns
Cursed 2018 The Steampunk Circus and Cressing Temple Barns Another year in the Amphi-Fear-tre at The Cursed in Essex and this year we were put inside one of the old barns at Wat Tyler Park. The scare park had requested The Steampunk Circus so I spent a great day turning the empty barn into an indulgent, steampunk freak show complete with banner line up, festival lights, gold velvet backdrop and vintage record player. The barn was packed out six times a night to see our weird

The Steampunk Circus goes to Scandinavia
The Steampunk Circus goes to Lund! Less than 24 hours after landing from Beijing we were heading back to the airport, this time as the Time Traveller and the Inventor taking The Steampunk Circus to Lund for Sweden’s Magic weekend. Our wonderful friend Gay is the organiser and he booked us in around May as he’d been keeping an eye on our social media and liked the steampunk style and wondered if we could do him a double act spot. The magic convention audiences are interesting,

Beijing
Three days after Montreux I boarded another plane with Johnny Strange to Beijing for the International Magic Convention! Where do I even start on the amazing experience that was performing at the Beijing Magic Convention 2018?! I saw an advert looking for unusual acts to perform at this event way back in the spring and I thought since I had nothing to loose I’d send my showreel. Fast forward to July, a mere six weeks before the convention and the organiser got in touch to ask

Montreux, Switzerland
Where do I even start on the amazing trip that was Montreux? I contacted Montreux Tattoo Convention to offer them the Double Act- unfortunately by the time they got back to me Johnny was already booked somewhere else! No worries though- challenge accepted and I drafted in some quirky parts for the gorgeous Arielle Firecracker to play in my act and suggested she perform burlesque too. We flew out on the Friday and had two shows each day! My set was 25 minutes silent performanc

Tatcon Blackpool 2018
Tatcon Blackpool 2018! Another epic year at this event which is one of my favourites to be at! Johnny and myself showed off our new fast-paced duo spot we worked on over the summer and both took new acts for our solo spots as well. The awesome event photographers Ken Wilan and Richard McCann were on hand to capture the highlights and as always their work doesn't disappoint. The three day event in Norbrec Castle, Blackpool was once again filled with the sound of buzzing tattoo

Benidorm...
Me and Strange just got back from Benidorm Tattoo convention! What a lovely event to perform at... I may have over estimated the Spanish heat in April and spent most of it covered up in my cardigan but I can't knock the Brits living out there who fully embrace the weather and seemingly live in shorts and vests despite it only being a little warmer than the UK! Anyway, the family organised convention was lovely and we felt very welcome. I had the pleasure of meeting Elaine Dav
