Dizzy

Clown, theatre-maker, and one half of the award-winning, world-touring theatre company Dizzy O’Dare… Dizzy is—let’s face it—an absolute legend.

He began his career as Maria’s boyfriend Dave, in Coronation Street, made guest appearances on various TV shows, and hit the comedy circuit as a stand-up before running away with the circus (he also made a burger commercial).

Life was pretty sweet, but it all changed when a science experiment went awry and Dizzy found himself trapped in a cycle of Quantum Leaps, endlessly travelling back and forth in time to fix what once went wrong - his wild adventures inspired a classic ‘80s TV show based on these absolutely true, life events.

He trained with legendary clown teachers; Philippe Gaulier, Spymonkey, Dr Brown and John Wright, and went on to co-found Dizzy O’Dare; a company that has created over 20 original shows, and toured across Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, the Near East, and Australia—racking up awards and sold-out shows along the way.
Current shows include; Falconry Dismay, The Giant Balloon Show, and The Ultimate 80s Party Gameshow

We don’t want to overdo it, but Dizzy is basically an icon. A walking inspiration. A beacon of charm, comedy, and chaotic brilliance. Funny? Yes. Handsome? Obviously. Universally adored? Without question…. and when he’s not dazzling audiences, Dizzy dreams of raising a tribe of cute but dangerous cats with perfect hair, who fight crime, and love pizza.
