A Busy November
What a month this November has been. Our acts have been out and about all over the place including Kingston-upon-Thames for the big Christmas lights switch-on where Archie & Bert (Fanshaw’s Fantastical Emporium of the Impossible) were given their own stage, lighting and PA (and security!) for an evening of crowd pulling entertainment.

The veritable Mr Fanshaw has secured transport for Archibald Grottlington Esq and Herbert Skittle (also Esq.) who will be taking the very famous Fanshaw’s Fantastical Emporium of the Impossible to London Town.

Not limited to Christmas events, Fanshaw’s Fantastical Emporium of the Impossible have been out and about in the summertime too. Well, late summer anyway.

Fanshaws On Ice
Well not quite, but almost! Archie and Bert have been busy again this Christmas, touring throughout the kingdoms; performing around all sorts of curious venues. Right next to an ice rink for example, up in Merthyr Tydfil. Archie’s fear of heights, alas, prevented him from climbing aboard a pair of blades, and Bert’s chilblains were playing up that day so … Read More
