Hodman Dodmannott and Sally Forth

Having lived by themselves for hundreds of years, blissfully unaware of the changing world around them, this pint-sized pair have ventured out in search of fame, fortune and friendship, touring the world with their possessions strapped to their backs.

Having lived by themselves for hundreds of years, blissfully unaware of the changing world around them, this pint-sized pair have ventured out in search of fame, fortune and friendship, touring the world with their possessions strapped to their backs. Although billed as a walkabout, the show is often a series of small, static performances when crowds who are drawn to the ingenious illusion seem to find it impossible to leave.

Electric Cabaret Moving human

statues, Synchronised movement and situation comedy There still and gracefully come to life. Various costumes available.

Stiltwalking comedy, funny act that involves them being fake security guards and protecting the wrong people. Two or three people , have performed at the great north run for last 3 years

Lee Thompson Lee Thompson is a truly unique comedy pickpocket. You won't lose your money, but may lose sleep trying to figure out how he does it! With a twinkle in his eye, and a cheeky grin, your possessions will disappear and reappear where you least expect them! Lee also has a trio group that perform tricks on the public. The format is very similar to The Real Hustle TV programme and really grabs the audiences attention.

G Walker-Pole Dancing RobotsGiles Walker has been working with robots for the last 20 years. He started building kinetic sculptures and robots from materials found in various scrap yards around Europe.

He has exhibited his work around the world, touring in Europe, Japan, Australia, Russia and Ukraine.

‘These ‘robots’ are built from 12V motors found in cars (windscreen wiper motors etc) and then controlled through a PC using a DMX programme.

PakaThe horse is a full size (17 hands) robotic horse assembled from assorted machine parts and scrap metal. It does just about all a real horse does- it moves, turns, reverses, whinnies, rears and even breathes fire. It is based on an electric wheelchair, inherited from the artist's 96 year old grandmother, transformed into a horse for the ancient knight “Don Quixote” to ride upon.

Bruce AirheadThe metamorphosis of a man and a six-foot balloon. Suitable for all age ranges from family audiences to adult evenings.

Now the explosive finish. On a count down from ten, a confetti cannon shoots through the top of the balloon, the balloon bursts to reveal Bruce Airhead completely dressed in a costume of your choice.

Mad Hatter’s Tea PartyThis scene is part walkabout and part static show. The Tea-Party crew (Mad Hatter, March Hare, Dormouse and walking Table) start several tea parties each one interrupted by the Table who gets bored and runs off. Eventually they meet Alice and a short, static scene ensues. The static scene is includes acrobatics, dance and sometimes some juggling but primarily is an interactive moment for audience to join the characters for (imaginary) tea

The CaterpillarThe Caterpillar (sitting on a shiny, red, mushroom and on hidden stilts) find a good spot to tell nonsense stories to all and sundry. He is a fantastic and ridiculous sight and has been known to introduce bands on stage and perform other MC duties. He does like the sound of his own voice though so eventually needs to be removed. We do not recommend taking his advice too literally. Occasionally we get him to read the caterpillar chapter from the book and with Alice this takes the story from page to life.

The Queen of Heart’s CroquetThis is a big, colourful, noisy scene. The Queen, her entourage and Alice play croquet enlisting members of the audience as both hoops and hedgehogs. The beauty of this scene is the freedom given by improvisation.

Walkabout Garden GnomesThree figures creep about with their own portable hedges, hiding in the undergrowth as they create a magical garden. Pointed red hats, watering cans and wheelbarrows, cheeky grins and fishing rods… might it be gnomes?

With outsize topiary as their only disguise, they are determined to garden… believe in the unbelievable.

Flower Pot HeadsImmaculately suited men and women with heads of beautifully arranged pots of flowers go for a gentle stroll, providing a highly photogenic surreal image.

You'll be surprised what can be squeezed into a crocheted bonnet! The Nannies behave impeccably and expect you to do likewise.

Harbuck & FuttockMilliners of Distinction, this respected firm will create 200 original hats to order, on the spot. Free of charge in the interests of good old-fashioned British Style.
