Hire Contortionist Rubber Ritchie for your Event

When you hire contortionist Rubber Ritchie for your event you will experience a display of acrobatic and comedic contortion demonstrating extreme flexibility rarely seen in modern man! Ritchie offers an eight minute long set to music on stage. He also offers a walkabout performance where a stage is not available of up to 2 x 15 minutes.

Entertainer Richard Rosson, who performs as Rubber Ritchie, first picked up a yoga book when he was 20 years old. He tried a 20 minute sequence of stretches and relaxation exercises and was hooked. The following weeks and months he practiced every day, starting with one hour a day, building to two, three and four hours a day. At first he laughed at the pictures he saw in the yoga book of people with their legs behind their head and other curious poses but as the months and years went on he got closer and closer to being able to do all he saw.

Ritchie had a background in stage performance from years in glam rock bands and decided to put a turn together demonstrating his extraordinary tricks to the world. He began to perform to astonished audiences on the streets of Covent Garden in London.

He was quickly snapped up by the Circus of Horrors which took him on tour to the north of England and Scotland. Since then he has performed at all kinds of events from circus, to cabaret, to theatre, to opera, to television and film.

He is an eye catching choice for photographers doing many adverts and promotional shoots for companies such as Microsoft, Kwikfit and Ripleys Believe It Or Not. His pictures have appeared in hundreds of newspapers and magazines such as The Telegraph, The Guardian, The News of The World and many others.

Ritchie's television creidts include Britain's Got Talent (ITV), Let Me Entertain You (BBC2), The Richard and Judy Show (CH4), Have I Got News for You (BBC1), The Salon (CH4), Dick and Dom in Da Bingalow (BBC1) and Trisha (CH5).

Hire contortionist Rubber Ritchie for your next event and let your guests enjoy the flexible delights of his many comic creations including: Devil (great for Halloween events), Father Twistmas (an act Yule love), Flex in the City (a city gent who works flexible hours) and The Amazing Lizard Boy.
