summer ’24

This coming summer is set to be another busy one for Circus Pazaz – Little circus Big Fun! we will be again visiting lots of family events & schools with our fundraising shows & have a go circus skills workshops (click here for more info for your school pta!)

clown Zaz wont be going to all of the Pazaz shows tho especially the ones further north of the country due to my own family commitments but, this does mean that I can stay more local and can still offer my outside circus stage for Zaz the clown shows have a go circus skills and more! sutible for kidz birthday parties, community playschemes, park events & family friendly festivals & carnivals…we are pleased to have already confirmed a few of our favourite summer gigs & my 2 children age 9 & 11 will again join me during summer holidays for pocket money as my special guests in the show at some of the events, including the very exciting Kidzfield’s 30th year birthday party for all those lucky children that have a Glastonbury festival ticket and we will also be back in Bognor Regis Hotham Park with our free open air clown show thanks to Bognor town council events which is always sentimental to me and those who can remember the infamous Bognor Regis Clowns Conventions which was such a colourful, exciting & funny festival back in the 1990’s & also where it all begin for me… So If you are looking for some fun outdoor or indoor clown show entertainment or have a go circus skills please enquire now to avoid disappointment before all our dates are booked in!

Grimaldi Sunday

Since 1946 clowns have met on the 1st Sunday in Feb in East London organised by All Saint’s Church & Clowns International the oldest club for clowns in the world.

Irrespectively of their own religious beliefs Clowns from all over the UK and overseas come to remember joeys who have left us & celebrate clowning & father of clowns Joey Grimaldi. I have been to this event many times and, I have been going since I was a teenager & I try to attend & help out when I can, my children now come with me also… Again it was a wonderful service this year and nice to see clown friends that I often don’t see, fantastic to see the public packing into the church again to witness this interesting clown tradition (during covid the service was held online. Grimaldi Sunday always ends with cutting & sharing of the cake with a free clown show for the local community before everyone says farewell..this year in the show my son Ollie (9) helped me with a builders act we have been working on, it involves large hammers a sore thumb, juggling Pieces wood & balancing bricks! Both Ollie & I were featured in the Independent news paper, & here are some lovely photos from the day thanks to Steve Jacks & Gaz de vere for the photos.

Summer 2023

Summer round up – after a slow start to my year due to a broken collerbone accident whilst having a ride on a bicycle not even a unicycle! still I was happy with the knowledge that it would heal ok in time for the summer season.. Again in Easter we re visited the British Juggling Convention as it was being held in the south again in Ramsgate Kent. For me this is a good chance to get my 2 children off their tablet devices as I’d rather see them doing more circus skills! A highlight for us was that I entered Ollie into the young juggler of the year competition which was held in a huge circus bigtop. He performed his unicycle routine with cones and it was his very first time on stage with out me with him. He made me proud & came 4th along with some very talented young performers some like Ollie were from working performing families but for quite a few a first time so well done them! and the BJC organisers – if you like circus skills or want to learn more then look out for the BJC as it might be near you next time! http://www.britishjugglingconvention.co.uk

Summer 2022 was busy & fun again for us clowns!

This summer like many families my children & I have been to a few exciting places in search of fun in the sun during the school summer holidays & being a kidz/family entertainer often during the holidays it is fine for me to ‘bring the kids to work’ especially as since covid, my two little clowns now age 8 & 10 have been practicing their circus skills & can perform in some of the shows or help to inspire other children at circus workshops with me when they want too, for pocket money & popcorn of course! Also the big change about circus pazaz that comes with the small but complete bigtop show is that like many small businesses after the uncertain covid period we were very close to closing down completely, especially as our old but well looked after tent was now well over 20yrs old & we were aware the canvas top & walls were in need of replacing. However, we are pleased to say that Tilly Twist who has been involved for the majority since 2013 has now become joint partner! We are proud to say that we did visit all the schools that we had booked in since 2019 as well as many new schools booking in 2022 – from Eastbourne to Pontypridd this summer ’22 we set up our little bigtop show in over 30 locations! (you can read more about circus pazaz’s summer tour here)

With Tilly & the team taking the bigtop tent out it meant that I could choose not to do some of the school tour particularly during the week due to my own family commitments & also could take any smaller event jobs were the bigtop wasn’t required often more locally + for the 1st time circus pazaz could be in 2 locations at the same time ie the main tent & the small 20ft tent with open air show, which is exactly what we did as we were invited & shipped back to the channel Islands for our 6th time to supply our family entertainment for the brilliant Alderney week community festival last year’s being the 73rd held!. Took the kid’s along to the British Juggling Convention in Ramsgate, did some children’s charity visits as well as a few children’s birthday parties back in a good old hall or function room again! Zaz took the little clowns to quite a few events to either provide a playscheme circus workshop or clown show, here are a few photos of us in action! Looking forward to next summer already get in touch if you would like more info on booking us for your event!

Zaz & Tilly become partners at Circus PaZaz!

Happy New Year! Whilst Clown Zaz still offers kidz birthday entertainment for familes & smaller events where he can, over at Circus PaZaz we are looking forward to be back in 2022! – taking our little circus experience to schools & events around the country, doing what we love – spreading smiles, joy & laughs to family audiences wherever we go! We’ve been busy backstage making some changes & have some exciting news – Circus Pazaz is now a joint partnership! Tilly Twist (Emily Ball) is now joining Clown Zaz (Matt Indge) in partnership, prouducing & running the little bigtop business that she has been part of since 2013 soon after Zaz took on the circus from Fred Delius (of Fred’s Flying Circus) when we became Circus Pazaz! What does the new partnership mean for Circus Pazaz?  We aim to continue our circus work in the comunity as an affordable introduction to circus & small enough to fit in busy or built up areas, offering fundraising shows & workshops for schools whilst supplying family friendly festivals & community events with our have-a-go circus workshops area & bigtop shows. Our original tent is getting old now & we have a shiny new yellow & white big top canvas on order which we hope will arrive in July.  This season Matt/Zaz will be taking more time to be a dad, leaving Tilly to manage the schools tour but he will still be out & about with the big top during the summer – you might even see Zaz’s kidz Izaac or Ollie performing too, they’ve been honing their circus skills over lockdown & enjoyed appearing in some of the shows we did in 2021. Click here for more info on booking Circus Pazaz for your school or event!
