We can’t say where, or precisely when you will see the strange and exotic fayre, we have for you as this year’s Walkabout presentations. What we can say is that it will amuse you and fascinate you. So keep a lookout for the weird and wonderful as you stroll around the city!

Coming to Belfast for the weekend of the Festival of Fools is a slice of 16th century elegance.

Why should you mix with the great unwashed?

PREPOSTEROUS!

How can you be expected to risk coming into
contact with the common rabble on the street?

OUTRAGEOUS!

Preserve the proper order and do not allow
standards to drop. The ‘Superior Sedan Service’
is on hand to transport you in the style you were
meant for.

Glide in exclusive comfort from; respectable
establishment to private club or luncheon
engagement to afternoon tea ‘tete a tete’.

If you look up at many of the amazing buildings we have in Belfast, you will see some amazing stone figures. If you’re lucky, you might come across two of the most unusual examples – Rocksy and Granit – as they wander the streets in search of the ideal location to rest their weary heads.

Roll up and witness the marvel that is the Pithecoscope (from the Greek: pithekos = ape; skopeo = to look, to see)

The Pithecoscope is a peep show with a difference – an audience of one, is invited to witness a simian miracle, an hilarious character full of mischief. A real eye twister for all ages that will monkey with your mind.

Lights,
Camera,
Action.

The great Hollywood director Barnum T Firefly is on a street near you and ready for ACTION!!
This street performance is fully mobile, the only props used are adirectors chair and bullhorn. Barnum hunts the gritty city streets searching for the “perfect scene”, and when he does, the entire city must come to a halt and everyone within screaming distance becomes a star in his latest epic.

Take One Crazy Clown, a few traffic cones and
white line machine. Result? To be honest,
it’s impossible to say as - Tonny Trifolikum
(part time council worker, part time artist and full
time eccentric) wreaks his mirthful havoc on the
city of Belfast.

Bill Oddie may have made ‘twitching’ popular, but he has nothing on our man on the street, Bert ‘chaff’ Finch. You may think you’re safe drinking your cup of coffee minding your own business, but check again. The Chaff is on the look out for even the dullest moments life can offer to mark down in his little notebook. You have been warned!
