It’s time to join the circus when Shone Productions brings international circus acts, amazing magic, and lots of laughs to St George’s Hall, Bradford, on Saturday 29 January 2022 for one performance only at 3.00pm
Leading the cast of Circus Spectacular is Bippo The Clown. Gareth ‘Bippo’ Ellis made his debut into performing when he was just 9 years old and he’s never looked back. With the support of his parents, Gareth slowly started to carve his path in show business. After buying a small caravan Gareth and his parents used to join Zippos Circus during school holidays.
It was during one of these holidays Gareth was taking part in publicity for the circus with Zippo himself. When asked by a reporter what his clown name was Martin ‘Zippo’ Burton replied – “He is a baby Zippo therefore his name is Bippo!” The rest was history! Bippo has since appeared on TV shows such as Blue Peter, Dick and Dom in The Bungalow, Big Brother, The Sooty Show and even his own BBC3 Documentary Send In The Clowns.
Bippo is joined by his partner Miss Chelsea, Chelsea a multi-talented performer and with many strings to her bow as not only does she do her hula hoop act – she has also specialised in many other aspects of circus including, aerial cube, aerial silks, solo trapeze and roller skating!
Also featuring international juggling sensation Alfio Macaggi, Born in Valencia, Spain, Alfio is a fourth-generation circus performer from one of Spain’s most famous circus dynasties.
Also in the line-up is the incredible Duo Salsky who have toured the world with their death-defying routines such as The Wheel of Death, Rolla Rolla and roller skating plus an exciting line up of supporting acts.
Producer James Shone says: “Circus Spectacular will be a massive hit with family audiences. The show is packed with great performers from all walks of life, who have worked hard to craft their skills and become the very best they can be, mixed with their showmanship and enthusiasm, you will certainly be entertained!”
