Cornelius Gold: His uncle was the legendary Skin Dude; once the world's most tattooed man and a fearless sword swallower. Sadly he died in 1979. However his skin is now owned by a Japanese collector, so in a way, he's still with us.
Cornelius spent his formative years touring around the world with his father and Skin Dude where he was taught many circus skills and bizarre magic. Cornelius includes the amazing string from stomach and fire breathing from both ends in his repetoire.
Sebastian Silver:
Sebastian is an excellent magician and fire artist. He has worked around the country as a mix n mingle magician and has performed his fire routine at festivals and street theatre events.
His taste in magic leans toward the dark side. He enjoys the shock factor and seeing is believing when he puts a real power drill up his nose and submits himself to the human chopping board.

Sunday Funday is the not-for-profit inaugural post-clubbing chill-out monthly sunday evening event mixing live acts, DJs, dance, spoken word and circus in a student-friendly Bradford arty city centre venue. Translocating the summer festival vibe into the Love Apple Café Bar (near the Alhambra Theatre - see the map on our MySpace), action packed with all the fun of the fair, Sunday Funday is a great excuse to ditch the crap sunday night telly, and party with no stress. Open-minded, multi-cultural, multi-genre, you'll hear just about anything at our gigs. Whether it's funk, punk, reggae, hip hop, house, techno, dub, breaks, meaningful accoustic sets, or bitesized chunks of world music, we're down with all chilled-out vibes.
To reduce our carbon footprint, we showcase local acts as possible, giving maximum exposure to the stars of tomorrow, in conjunction with Fresh Milk (the Wild West Yorkshire music facilitators), we're helping new artists gain grass roots exposure. On the Sunday October the 5th bill, there's Freyed Knot headlining, plus Divine Shakras, Harris, DJ Shi'me, DJ Immi, Flloyd de Sousa, Meats, and many, many more. This time there's breakdance crew the Soul Monkeys, and future performances will include belly dance and burlesque, and live performance art. Entry is always a mere £3, with beer/lager/real ale at £2 a pint, and fresh veggie and meat hot dogs to keep thirst and hunger under check. There's no dress code, fancy dress optional but welcome.
We're not funded or sponsored in any way, and rely on the kindness and generosity of our able volunteers, so if you want Sunday Funday to suceed, show your support by turning up at the Love Apple carnival between 5 and 11pm and having one hell of a good time. Turn up, tune in, and chill!!!
Hello! A rare chance to see the Ragged Trousered Philanthropists in London next Sunday 27th April; Dublin Castle, Camden, 8pm £5. We will hopefully be doing some performances in the streets around Camden during the day, it'd be great if you could make it, more the merrier etc...
Well I’m sure you’ve all been following Victor & Emilia’s saga’s in the Big Brother House but before we go onto that watch your local & national media for stories aplenty about Helmuts return to the venue where he skewered himself, Anastasia IV Welsh smoking ban and Captain Dans reminisce of the Edinburgh Festival when Emilia rescued him from his sticky position. So Big Brother – Great to hear Emila mention The Circus of Horrors – I must say though it’s very difficult watching your friends on there. And Victor – was up for eviction! I've known the family for many years, Emilia is a flirt & Victor is Victor – he’s a really nice guy, true he orders his sister around but in the Circus they both have their own domestic rolls, Emilia cooks the food & makes him drinks. Victor changes the gas, attaches the electric, empties the bog etc – he just hasn’t realised yet that there’s no bog to empty in the Big Brother House.
I may not get chance to talk to you all again for a while so on a final note
