Solo Circus 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, West
Midlands, England, Solo Circus performs locally, nationally and
internationally.
As a member of Equity, Mark Russell 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 Solo Circus performs alone and with other clowns, jugglers and stilt walkers and circus entertainers.
Mark Russell is known under various names including...Mr Doo Clown & Juggler, Solo Circus and as part of the double act Phillippe ~ Philloppe.
Recent quote from client..."You won't be disappointed, he's fantastic fun!"
What does Solo Circus doo?
New for 2013 - Best of British Entertainment
Although
Solo Circus has offered acts to fit this theme for many years, I
have decided to group them together and put them all on one page.
As well as classic favourites such as the Victorian juggling
gentleman, there are also a couple of new acts available fitting
this theme.
See the link below for more information...
Best of British Themed Entertainment
Olympic Themed Entertainment
As we have
hosted The Olympics, London 2012 this year (didn't you know!),
and Team GB were so Fantastic, the additional acts
added to The Circus of Eccentric Cycles will remain available for
some time to come. Still available is the Team GB themed comedy
cyclist. All the usual trick bicycle stuff but in Team GB cycling
kit. As well as the red, white and blue costume, the stilt bike
is decorated with Union Jack flags.
This comedy sports themed cycling entertainer is available on
various comedy bicycles pictured here...
Mr Doo - Comedy Juggler
Mr Doo...Daft geezer who performs high level juggling skills with not too serious banter.
Skills performed include: juggling (balls 5, clubs 4, knives, fire, axes, rubber chickens), stilt walking and cycling, unicycling up to 6 feet high, ladder balancing, plate spinning, diabolo, devil sticks, cigar boxes, balloon modelling, comedy / trick cycling, rola-bola, hat manipulation, object balancing (chair on chin...that sort of thing!).
Available as a walkabout, static show and stilt walker. Mr Doo is also an excellent circus skills instructor and provides great circus skills workshops.
Mr Doo Clown & Juggler
Mr Doo is a
clown, juggler and stilt walker all in one. A great choice of
entertainer for family events.
Book this character entertain at your event with his various
bizarre skills and amazing feets!
Walkabout and static shows available.

More information here...comedy juggling shows
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, Comedy Cyclist etc, etc.....
Stilt Walker
Although stilt walking comes under walkabout performances I feel that it needs a mention of its own as it is probably what Solo Circus 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. A stilt walker is ideal for meet & greet, promotional events, parades and any event where the entertainers are requested to roam. Solo Circus 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.

Click here to see a short video of the eccentric bicycle.
Vintage Cyclist
Suited to any British themed event, cycling event or anything else you fancy. Very British, well spoken, a true gentleman. Out and and about in his tweed jacket and plus fours, meeting and greeting the public in a comedy style whilst he rides his Penny farthing. Absolutely spiffing!

Country Gent - Stilt walking Entertainer
And how doo you doo! New for 2013, Mr Doo...Very tall English country gentleman. Taking a stroll in his Harris tweed jacket and flat cap whilst engaging in very well spoken banter. Tally ho!
More images available on Best of British Themed Entertainment page.
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.
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 Phillippe - Philloppe but
available as a solo act too.
Angels. . .of the West
A great meet & greet act or general walkabout. These comedy 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.
Fire Juggling
Very visual indeed, Solo Circus 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.
Booking a fire juggler is a great idea for events having a large fireworks display, as the juggler can entertain the crowds whilst they wait for the big show. Very popular around November 5th.
Solo Circus 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.
Christmas Themed Entertainment
At
Christmas, Solo Circus offers all the usual all year round
performances with a touch of holly, mistletoe, glitter and fairy
lights.
For instance, the Stilt bike gets a festive make-over, and the
Victorian Stilt Walker gets tastfully decorated.
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 themed Christmas functions.
