Flambeaux
Glasgow—born pyromaniac Chris Reilly is back home to sit a couple of exams. He left town years ago, under the influence of crazed French circus troupe Archaos. He became a fire- eater, changed his name to Flambeaux, then spent a while as a traveller and street per- former before crossing the Atlantic. He hung out in New Orleans, then moved on to New York, where he became an established fire performer, and met, trained and eventually mar- ried the lovely Lilah. Determined to complete the final module of his course at the College of Building & Printing, he’s seizing the chance to put in some appearances. ’Flame on!’ as the Human Torch used to say.
Flambeaux is provisional/y booked to appear at Christie’s Comedy Cellar, Edinburgh, on Fri 3 Jul; and appears at T in the Park on Sat 70 & Sun 7 7 Jul; and at the opening of Bar Ce Lona, Glasgow on Fri 7 Aug.
