Our Company
Fools Paradise is the UK’s premier agency for street performance. We have 20 years experience of working with the very best street acts and are committed to promoting and supporting this art form. For some acts we act as management and look after every aspect of their work from world wide bookings to accounts and grant applications and with all our acts we offer support and advice as well as helping them to arrange their bookings.
We offer a similar service to the event organisers who choose to work with us. Whether helping them to decide on exactly the right act for a village fete or supplying a complete timetabled programme, booking hotels or arranging stewards we are with them every step of the way to ensure that their budget is spent wisely and productively.
We have supplied acts to 42 different countries, working with festivals, party organisers, fetes, schools, town halls, charities, shopping centre managers, zoos, theme parks and many more besides. We travel far and wide looking for acts and visiting festivals and we love nothing more than to be out on site working with our acts and our event organisers to ensure that things go as smoothly as possible.
Why We Do This
We believe that presenting free outdoor entertainment to people who would not normally see live performances can benefit both the individuals and the town itself. As well as generating extra revenue for that town we have seen street theatre change the way people feel about themselves, their neighbours and their environment. We love our jobs. On the one hand we are privileged to work with some of the funniest and most talented performers in the UK and on the other hand we are able to be involved in the hugely creative process of designing festivals that work for the public and bring entertainment where it should be - out in the open.
