SHEREE VICKERS
performing ~ street performer

Sheree started doing street theatre in 1993, when with only £10 to her name and a plane ticket home to Australia, she braved the West Piazza in London's Covent Garden and produced a god-awful show, making a total of 75p in the process.

Since then, she has developed and improved and can now boast at being one of the few women in the world to have performed a solo circle show.

Her "Baked Alaska" impersonation (stripping down to a madcap corset and setting her boobs alite as she descends under a flaming limbo pole) has been performed at festivals and pitches around the world, not to mention notable television appearances including THE BIG BREAKFAST in Winnipeg, Canada, and V.GRAHAM NORTON for Channel4.

Performances have also been seen at the following:

  • Covent Garden, London (1993 – 1998)
  • Edinburgh Fringe Festival (1993 – 1998)
  • The Edmonton Street Performers Festival, Canada (1997/1999)
  • Fanueil Hall, Boston / Denver Buskerfest / Pearl Street Mall, Boulder (1997)

  • Waterloo Busker Carnival, Toronto / Really Big Street Fest, Whistler, Canada (1997)
  • Greenwich Street Festival (1994)

Sheree has been banned from performing her flaming limbo routine at both Fanuelle Hall in Boston and at Granville Island, Vancouver, as there were complaints against her use of male volunteers. It wasn't over concern that they might get burned - it was the fact that they were using their hands on her (literally) flaming bosoms!

However, she was in good company in Vancouver that year, as the impro group 'Rock Paper Scissors' - roving Elizabethan characters performing Shakespeare, received complaints for the exaggerated size of their codpieces. Some people will do anything to get attention!
