Captain Finhead

Finhead (Nellie) first encountered the circus arts in Spain in1992. The rich eclectic culture of this world proved incredibly attractive, and from that pivotal moment he has been involved heart and soul in circus-based physical performance. For the next thirteen years he developed his uniquely humorous style and original circus stunts, amongst the most technically demanding and genuinely hazardous (to him!) acts ever seen on stage, cabaret or street, throughout Europe, Asia, Australasia and Japan.

From balancing an axe on the chin whilst standing on a rola-bola 4 foot from the ground and simultaneously juggling three machetes, to blowing up a hot water bottle with his mouth until it bursts; playing a romantic tune on violin on one knee while balancing a rose on the nose, performing ‘lumberjack crunches’, sit-ups with an axe balanced on the chin, a stunt for which he is the world record holder, (or the extreme version, on a bed of nails!), Finhead is guaranteed to provide any audience at any event with amazement, delight and thrills.
