Dr Ken completed a PhD in Soap Bubbles before running away to join the circus! He combines theatre, science and maths producing entertaining, educational and engaging shows for all. His shows and workshops have toured many schools, museums, science and arts festivals for over 10 years and he is featured on Teachers TV’s ‘Inspirations - When The Circus Comes To School’.

His show presents the serious issues of global warming in an exciting, dynamic and fun way. This should be essential viewing for any National Government.” Bridget Fielden, Northgate High School
