Captain Franko's Fantastic Flea circus- A Victorian Classic, bang up-to-date.

The Act in
a Nutshell:

A rarely seen treat- A traditional Flea Circus! Now in it's 3rd successful year. Excellent for festivals & fun days.

So what is a Flea Circus?

Originating during the Victorian era, we now operate the only privately-funded, fully operational, fully interactive Flea Circus in the country (to the best of my knowledge) - and one of only a handful in the world. As you can see in the photo on the right, you get a miniature Circus complete with Tightrope, High Wire, Death-Defying dive and much more. This fully interactive show has proved itself popular with people of all ages.

Fun from the word go, you will find yourself quickly absorbed in watching the fleas antics. The audience participate from the outset, and some lucky viewers are picked to help with the show. As well as Captain Franko's 3 years experience as a Flea Circus Ringmaster, you also have the benefit of his 17 years on showbusiness - there are other Flea Circuses in the world, but only this one is "Fantastic"!


Please note, in accordance with Captain Franko Reliable Entertainment's Animal Welfare Policy, NO live animals (big or small) are used in any of our shows.

    Flea Circus Charity Donation Scheme.

    The charity donation scheme mentioned in the Sunday World has been extended yet again, indefinitely!- For every booking featuring the flea circus, Captain Franko Reliable Entertainment will make a donation to the Fondation Abbé Piere.
    The Fondation Abbé Piere is a French charity which helps all sorts of homeless & socially excluded people. I first came into contact with them when I became homeless in France in 1989, and they were among many who helped me return to 'normal' life.

    Their projects cover wide range of social initiatives, and they are very much an active organisation. Although their focus is in France, they also work in Africa - and feel that solidarity with poor countries is part of their raison-d'être.

    If you understand French, you will find their website here*: http://www.fondation-abbe-pierre.fr/ . (Altavista's 'Babelfish' does a half decent job of translating the site, follow this link to see the site in English*) You may get a better understanding of my personal interest in the plight of the homeless by reading about my experiences 15 years ago, here in the Captain Franko Experience.
