Mr Alexander's Travelling Show

On the Kinecroft

Mr Alexander has been perfecting his open-air one man show for over forty years. His show can be seen at many of Britain's greatest events as well as at many fine English country houses and sites, thanks to a special collaboration with English Heritage.
A unique and captivating blend of magic, juggling, unicycling, balance and illusion, the show is reminiscent of the Variety Shows of years ago. Closely choreographed and timed to ragtime and modern jazz, the show appeals to young and old alike. From the spectacular and gravity-defying three chair balance to his fascinating Linking Ring routine (which has been praised as the finest in Britain), the show guarantees to amuse, entertain and delight all who watch. He will present three or four set shows during a day, and also improvise new routines between shows. This year's improvisation becomes next year's show!
Set against the colourful and unique Victorian Theatre set, based on Pollocks twopenny coloured toy theatre, the open-air show has a feel of travelling shows of the twenties and thirties and the stage gives even the largest audiences a great view.

Mr Alexander will be performing throughout his stay at BunkFest - watch the blackboard for times

F.L.A.M.E Fire Shows

In the Community Street Fair 10.00-16.00 Saturday

F.L.A.M.E Fire shows brings you a unique day show that takes street theatre in an exciting and hilarious new direction. Super confident fire performer and front-man Matt 'sexy danger' Wilkinson attempts to showcase his fire spinning brilliance using tried and tested methods of audience participation, classic show structure and showmanship. The only thing standing between Matt and his vision is his new assistant. The maverick performer 'Marky Jay the Juggler' who has other ideas of what makes a great show (mostly involving him). The result? 20-30 mins of high skill, comic street theatre that will entertain toddlers and grannies and hopefully everybody in between.
