Indeed I do! Thanks.

Thanks, Kid Kruger...but Norman is a ringmaster, not a ringleader! And he's been one for 47 years, hence his Guinness title.

Interesting comment. The staff are certainly speedy, but in fact the needs of short-term events such as this are recognised in Planning law. So it's not fly-posting. And you'll remember from past years that the poster boards are removed afterwards. See you at the circus!

Already renowned as Britain's Favourite Circus, Zippo's company members are celebrating recent World successes. Amazing Ukrainian strongman Denys 'Hercules' Ilchenko is now Guinness World Champion at 'juggling heavy objects' - he successfully juggled three giant motor tyres. a feat he performns daily at Zippo's performances. We already knew he was the World's Greatest Ringmaster, but Norman Barrett MBE is now Guinness World Champion as the world's longest-serving circus host with 47 years of ringmastering behind him (and plenty more to go!) To crown a glorious touring season which has taken the 2013 production 'Carnaval' to towns and cities across the country from northern Scotland to England's south coast, Zippo's Circus has just been voted 'Britain's Best Classical Circus with Animals' in an on-line poll of circus aficionados. All of which goes to prove that audiences are in for a treat when the famous circus performs at Peckham Rye Common from Thursday 26th September until Tuesday 1st October. See www.zippos.co.uk .
