Strolling is a unique style of entertainment.  Instead of stopping the function for a show, the show now comes to them.  This is ideal for a venue or function where a show may become more intrusive than entertaining e.g. Restaurants or Trade Fairs/Festivals.

Shad Rutherford can either entertain roving as a Magician, Juggler, Unicyclist, Stilt Walker or Static as a Mannequin/Statue (audiences love trying to work out whether he’s real or not!!!)

In addition to this Shad can also entertain as one of several specialised characters:

Jacques de Phlegm AKA Jacques de le Grand Couteau
(that’s Jack of the BIG KNIFE)



Jacques is a Mad French Chef.  He is lots of fun but quite bizarre.  A typical performance may include juggling knives and other kitchen implements, including lots of FOOD.  Raw eggs, apples and the such are skillfully manipulated.  In addition Jacques presents strange magic, even helping a balloon give birth, all the time muttering in a mixture of French and English.........this is not a character for the children.

Tic Toc the Mechanical Clown



Tic Toc is a Full Mask Clown, absolutely no skin is showing.  Thus the audience is never quite sure if he’s real or not, that is until he MOVES!!  Then the hilarity starts, did he really move or not??  In addition to freezing in place, Tic Toc also moves mechanically, or follows people about causing chaos with his feather duster.

Mannequin in Black



Shad dresses entirely in black, and freezes in place.  Audiences are never sure whether he’s real or another mannequin.  To add to the fun Shad moves very, very slowly, did he move or not??? Perfect for shop fronts and promotions.
