What do you need to know??

I was born and raised in Manchester in the North West of England and fell into the world of entertainment by accident, my parents had aspirations that I would one day have a “normal job” and become a doctor, fireman or pilot…

I have a great relationship with my family but in true Dan fashion I defied their requests and ran away with the circus – literally!

In 2000, a friend of mine asked me to help her with her entertainment agency which she had recently launched – I was the office dog’s body, fetching and carrying before one day she packed me off to circus school and I have never looked back since…

Learning some skills of the trade I performed all over the UK and Europe as a stilt walker, fire eater and dancer whilst juggling my day time “normal” job back in the office and becoming a booker, looking after the needs of many of the other entertainers that we represented…

Many high profile gigs followed with appearances in the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games, 2004 Athens Olympics, The Royal variety performance for the Queen as well as many other regular appearances and tours across the country.

In 2008, destiny brought me to Dubai and luckily into the fold of Bareface – the regions best modeling agency…

Times where changing in Dubai and entertainment was now a focus for the business after seeing a niche in the market – and so here we are today.

Two and half years later we have launched a successful entertainment division with many big names brands as clients and have worked on prestigious events such as the opening of the Atlantis hotel on the palm, the Laureus sports awards in Abu Dhabi and many many more.

Here is an insight into me and what we do……
