Put the kettle on, because it's time for our fourth Q&A installment! This week, we'd like to introduce you to one of the members of our Kenya Warriors, currently featured at Butlins Minehead, Mohamed! The Kenyan Warriors showing off their super strength! 1. Full name Mohamed Said Rasi 2. Home town/city/country Mombases, Kenya 3. What previous shows have you been in? Gerry Cottle's Circus, Circus Berlin and Circus of Heroes 4.

Do you have a routine or ritual before the show? I always have to warm up before the show. I like to put on some music and do stretches with the rest of the warriors. Then after we always just like to relax.  6. If you were not a circus performer what job would you do? I...

Hip hip hooray! It’s our crazy clown Andreea’s birthday! The lovable Andreea has been appearing in shows with Gandeys Circus for nearly a decade. Now Andreea is actually French – so perhaps we should say ‘bon anniversaire’! We’re proud to have Andreea as part of our current team in the big top at Butlin’s Skegness .

So you could say she’s a bit of an innovator when it comes to clowning around. With that in mind, let’s look at how much clowns have changed ov...

Well seen as we haven't had a circus themed blog in a while we though we would treat you to some Friday Circus themed fun in the form of these two happy hoofed elephants! Now we all know the basics about Elephants, their large, their mammals, they have a decent set of ears and they love classical music? We'd forgive you for not knowing the later as we have only just found this out ourselves through watching the below video! This rather talented violinist was due to perform the Bach Concerto the Two Violins with the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra at the Circus World Museum in Baraboo in Wisconsin, United States when she decided perform her warm up for some rather unexpectedly appreciative recipients. The Elephants can be seen swaying along to Bach, proving that those ears didn't just evolve to help cool them down! These guys go a way to prove that even the most unlikely of people (and animals) may enjoy something once given the chance to partake in it. The same goes fo...
