Jeff Jay

Started circus in 1980 after leaving his scaffolding job. Was singled out for comedy early on and went on to develop his well-known comedy trampoline. He enjoys playing an array of alternative characters including, "Norman the Doorman" - a whacky MC - and the not-so-friendly "Egor the 'Oribble" - the butler/janitor of the ill-famed "Circus of Horrors".

Jeff performs solo on his Comedy Trampoline, Cloudswing and Comedy Sketches - some of whitch may involve audience participation. He also performs Bungess and Act Wheel of Death acts with partner Willy Ramsay and a popular Comedy Western Cowboy show with Polly.

Jeff has worked for several leading circuses including Robert Borthers, Fossets, Gerry Cottle, Circus Fiesta, Zippo's, Gandey's Circus (Saudi Arabia), Cirque Amar (France) and the infamous The Circus of Horrors. He's also starred at Pete Jay's Hippodrome as well as Hammond Productions (theatre company involving theatre shows and panto), Bourne Leisure Ltd (Butlins).

Recent TV credits include, "Don't Try this at Home", "Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway" (twice). Jeff has performed at Glastonbury (Circus of Horrors) and at the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan where he performed the "Wheel of Death" with partner Willy Ramsay. He also makes regular appearances at "Time" in Dublin.
