Circle Shows in Europe????
Just wondering what cities you can do sucessful cirlce shows in English through out Europe. It's a pretty general question, but the more information the better. Does anyone know anything about doing circle shows in Vienna, or Prague? Is Italy possible to do shows in English? I heard Germany is? Let's get some talk going.

Algarve , Portugal is a possibility , although in Alubufeira you may be chased out for lack of licence (which is hard to get hold of ).Spain ,which is the most fantastic place in the world to busk in is a bit of a no no , apart from the tourist spots (which I never go to , as it is not like being in Spain ). Ireland , for sure , if you like your summers wet and hats small (the euro change made the busking for me not worthwile ). Scandinavia , holland maybe but Ive never worked there so dont Know .
Go on , do your show with your mouth shut and head to the Basque country . -
I saw Joey Joey do an English show in Zurich Switzerland. He did some stuff in French and German as well but most of it was English. I think he said Geneva works too.Comment

In Germany myself, and converting the show into German. Not finding many good street pitches though for a circle show. Already been told my "bed of nails" is too dangerous, I guess I might get hurt. In my 10 minute conversation with the construction department head? (using a translator) I was told I'd be charged with a law that doesn't exist if I walked into the pedestran mall. I'd even brought a video of my show to the city hall prior and gotten specail permission. So no local street work for me anymore its forbodden, been communting around the country instead. Been working the festivals and corporate gigs mostly, and being chased off the street on a regular basis. Even did my first 18th century show for a hotel gig.
One thing only met one other circle show so far. We complained about the money in Friedburg together. If you care to risk it, send off an email I'll share what I can.
