Saltaire Festival - Intrepid Flyer

Saltaire Festival

I watched most of the performance that this man gave as part of this years Saltaire Festival on the grass outside the Victoria Hall in Saltaire, Yorkshire.

I missed the first couple of minutes so sadly I do not know either his real or stage name that he works under. Dressed as an early aviator with his moustache, flying helmet, goggles and flying machine (tall unicycle) he gave a polished and funny performance to a good sized crowd.

I liked the way that he got some volunteers from the audience to assist him in his daring and intrepid flight.

You can see the finale of his performance having taken off and was now flying solo on his unicycle complete with fire sticks to juggle with in the picture above.

I really like good street theatre and am only too happy to stay and watch it if I come across a performance and I have the time to do so. There are quite a few good street entertainers in and around Leeds here in Yorkshire.

Looks like some fun loving performers! The unicycle guy sure had a bird's eye view of things!
