Well what a busy ‘silly season’ that was! All the way through November to Christmas and then rolling though January, we were sending our festive acts all over the place. Here are a few of the fun and games we got ourselves into… In November we were very pleased to send Fanshaw’s Fantastical Emporium of the Impossible up to Gloucester … Read More
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. Our latest offering – The Postal Express … Read More
Archie & Bert London Bound
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. The Big Smoke. Or just a little bit outside it really… On the periphery so to speak. Kingston-upon-Thames it is then! “But WHEN?” we hear you cry. 19 November … Read More
A Busy Time For Fanshaw’s
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. It was a bit rainy at one point… September 2015 saw Archibald Grottlington Esq. and Herbert Skittle (also Esq) travelling east – and a bit south – to Bridgwater in Somerset to help a rather large company … Read More

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
Jack Frost On His Way
After appearing on the scene back at the start of 2013, our very own Jack Frost has been nipping about all over the place breathing cool new magic into events everywhere during the winter seasons. And now that summer has slipped away… Jack is back. This year he’s out and about with the germanic (ever-so slightly manic) Kristoph Puppenspieler who seems … Read More
