Mr Doo aka Mark Russell has a very broad range of skills including clowning, juggling and stilt walking which makes him a very flexible entertainer and therefore suitable for all occasions. As an entertainer he shows a high level of energy and an excellent ability to interact with people. Due to this, his performances have taken him all over the UK and world wide for children and adults.
The
venues and events attended vary from Corporate events to
Nightclubs and from Shopping centres to TV work. His previous clients include many
private and corporate customers.
Based on the beautiful Malvern Hills in Worcestershire, England,
Mr Doo performs locally, nationally and internationally.
As a member of Equity, Mr Doo has full public liability insurance. He also has an enhanced discloser certificate/CRB check.
If your event requires more than one entertainer, this is not a problem as Mr Doo performs alone and with other clowns, jugglers and stilt walkers and entertainers.
Mr Doo Clown & Juggler is also known as part of the double act Phillippe ~ Philloppe.
What does Mr Doo Do!
Static Shows
Slap stick and verbal comedy with a large helping of impressive skills make for a very entertaining show. Skills included in the show are five ball juggling, ladder balancing, 6 foot high unicycling and fire or knive juggling. There may even be a little magic!
Shows are performed in both a slapstick clown style and a comedy juggler street show style.
See Mr Doo juggle a knife, a fire torch and an axe on the 6 foot high unicyle.
Walkabout Performances
Also known as mix & mingle. Mr Doo performs on the move in a very interactive style through crowds, up and down queues and wherever required. Using stilt walking, juggling, magic, balloons and his mini clown bicycle. Walkabout performances are great for any event which requires roaming entertainment such as stilt walkers around a venue. Walkabout is suitable for almost all types of events especially store promotions, fetes, shopping centres, festivals and any type of funday in general.
Walkabout is performed in a variety of different looks and characters including.....Clown, Juggler, Blag-it the wizard, PC Parody the Victorian policeman, Stilt walking Angel, Dark Funky Fairy, Victorian Juggler, Jester etc, etc.....
Stilt Walking
Although stilt walking comes under walkabout performances I feel that it needs a mention of its own as it is probably what Mr Doo is booked for most. Stilt walking is a fantastic form of performance and is suited to any event, it is highly visual and, with the right character or person attached, highly entertaining. Mr Doo is a very interactive character, some would say cheeky too (I think they are right!) and combining stilts, juggling, magic and a pretty daft sense of humour makes a performance well worth booking. Stilt walking is ideal for meet & greet, promotional events, parades and any event where the entertainers are requested to roam. Mr Doo performs a few different stilt characters listed below but if you think of something not listed please ask as some characters can be organised as a one off, as some have in the past.
Stilts Bicycle
This was new in 2003. Just in case you can't comprehend a stilts bike (you are not alone!) let me fill you in. Mr Doo's stilts bike is a converted 15 speed mountain bike. The seat and handle bar stems have been extended to approximately 6 feet high. It is as a normal bicycle only taller. What is not normal (in fact rather rare) is that the bike is riden whilst wearing a pair of stilts! A great walkabout act that really catches peoples attention. On board Mr Doo carries in his basket various props so that he can stop and entertain with his juggling skills, magic, balloon modelling or just stop for a daft chat. On the rear of the bicycle is the optional bubble machine which gives a lovely effect as Mr Doo cruises along at not exactly a 'Tour de France' pace!

Clown
Mr Doo is a clown, juggler and stilt walker all in one. Let this character entertain at your event with his various impressive and bizarre skills. If your event requires a traditionally stripey trousered stilt walker then this is the guy for you.
Comedy Juggler
Mr Doo performs both with and without clown make up, this is without. Make up is usually left off for more adult performances and circus workshops. There will still with no doubt be plenty of clowning around whatever Mr Doo decides to wear. Speaking of costume, Mr Doo (comedy juggler) is usually seen in a tux, bright suit, a comedy character outfit or a a nice little stripey number. The tuxedo/ colourful suit look is a must for evening functions and also works really well in the most unconventional situations.
Blag-it the Wizard
This wizard is more of a clown character than a magician, hence the name. This is a really daft character not only suited to Halloween. A great walkabout performed on and off of stilts.
Victorian Juggler
Clown in victorian style top hat and tails on and off of stilts, with and without make-up. This is very popular for Christmas events but available all year.
Also performed as a Victorian gent on a penny farthing!
Medieval Doo
Mr
Doo medieval jester, what more can be said? Suitable for, well
shall we say, "Medieval events"?
Shown here as part of double act Phillipe - Phillope but
available as a solo act too.
Circus Skills Workshops
Circus skills workshops (or juggling workshops) can be organised for anything from 1 hour to a multiple day course in Circus Skills. Workshops are for children and adults. Skills taught include Ball, Club and Ring Juggling, Devil Sticks, Diabolo, Plate Spinning,Wire Walking or Tight Rope, Stiltwalking and Unicycling. Workshops include a demonstration of skills leading to hands on experience. Great packages on offer combine a clown show and a workshop.

Fire Juggling
Very
visual indeed, Mr Doo performs a variety of impressive stunts
with fire including Fire Eating. Although mostly suited to the
dark, Fire Juggling is also impressive in the day. An excellent
meet & greet act for evening events.
Mr Doo is safety aware and does have adequate public liability
insurance.
Glow In The Dark Juggling
Very modern, high tech, programmable, light up juggling props that can change colour and strobe. Mainly suitable for nightclubs and evening events during dinner or later on the dance floor. Juggling props including Balls, Clubs and Diabolo are used. Depending on venue restrictions, this and fire provide an excellent package for nightclubs or corporate events.
Phillippe - Philloppe
Mr Doo's juggling double act Phillippe - Philloppe.
Information on their performances can be found at
Angels
Mr Doo, and Mr Doo's double act Phillippe - Philloppe, perform as one or two stilt walking angels. A great meet & greet act or general walkabout. These characters use their juggling skills and silly sense of humour to entertain at corporate parties, Christmas lights switch on's and various other types of events. At night and in low light, juggling can be in the form of very dazzling and programmable glow clubs and balls. These clubs flash, change colour and look fantastic.
These angelic beings (!) are great for Christmas but available all year round as a solo or double act.
Victorian Policemen
Very well suited to Victorian events at Christmas or any other time of year, these old style Victorian Policemen are also available as a solo or double act. Not really to be relied upon for law enforcement but definately a lot of fun!
Also available as
cycling policemen on Penny Farthings.

Christmas Entertainment
At
Christmas I offer all the usual year round performances with a
touch of holly, mistletoe, glitter and fairy lights.
For instance, the Stilt bike gets a festive make-over, see The Circus of Eccentric Cycles and the Victorian Stilt Walker
gets tastfully decorated, see Victorian Stilt Walker
During the festive season the stilt walking Angels get very busy
meeting & greeting at evening events whilst the Victorian
Policemen get many emergency calls to ensure that all is well and
everyone is smiling at Victorian Christmas functions.
If what you want isn't listed above eg. themed characters for a specific event, give me a call and I'm sure I can conjure something up.
