A coffee break with... Bippo!
In honour of Clown Week (commencing 1st - 7th August) it only seemed right that this week's Q&A should be with someone who isn't shy of using a little bit of lipstick now and then and has a soft spot for red shiny shoes. We are pleased to introduce you to Bippo the clown! 1. Full name Gareth James Ellis a.k.a Bippo 2. Home town/city/country Manchester 3. What previous shows have you been in? Zippo's circus, John Lawson's circus, Gerry Cottle’s circus, the Hippodrome Great Yarmouth, and the Sooty show 4. If you could choose another circus act to perform what would it be? A juggler 5. Do you have a routine or ritual before the show? Not many people know this but I put my shoes and socks on before my clown trousers. Also the left shoe first. I also use the same powder sock for my makeup that I used when I first started for good luck 6. If you were not a circus performer what job would you do? Stand up comic. ...
