​Clown Eckie's 8ft High Unicycle

Eddie and dear friend Sue Steel (Known as FXW his future-ex-wife)

​Clown Eckie dazzled audiences at theatres, street festivals, store openings, and even in the award-winning "You've Been Tango'd" TV advertisement, all while riding his high unicycle and playing music on his "Exploding Concertina"
​(now on display at the Museum of Buffoonery).

His most memorable performance was at L&W Big Top Circus at Pleasureland in Southport, UK, where the great Robin Williams was in the audience during a matinee show in the summer of 1995.
Be sure to visit the Museum to ask Eckie about this and many more great experiences he had in his hay-days as a high flying unicyclist!

Vintage Clown Head - 1959

The old clown head has seen better days, but still survived being shipped all over planet earth with Eckie's props.

​Possibly the only surviving Clown Head originally displayed along the Golden Mile in Blackpool during the illuminations of 1959.
​
It was used alongside four others when it was attached to the full-size Circus Big Top of L & W Circus at the Pleasureland in Southport during their two summer seasons in 1995 &1996.

L & W Circus was named after the stage names of the owners, Lenusa Tenna/Charlotte-RIP & Willie Eckerslike/Clown Eckie.
