I am the official resident jester of the small medieval town of Conwy in North Wales.
I taught myself how to juggle from a library book at the age of 10, at 14 I went to Circus Maniacs Youth Circus School in Bristol, by 17 I was starting to get good, by 18 I'd discovered girls and beer and my progress slowed somewhat.
Now at the age of 35 I fight to keep those tricks that were once ever so easy at a passable performance standard and my show now combines juggling and balancing tricks with magic and comedy.
So, yea. My story is basically the same as the majority of others here.
