Meet Doug the Demon

​Doug the Demon is the world’s most extreme fire eater — a professional welder by day, and a fire-eating world record holder by night. He doesn’t just entertain with flame; he understands it down to the molecule. From the welding shop to the world’s stages, Doug fuses science and spectacle like no one else.
By trade, Doug is a journeyman welder with over two decades of experience, and the founder of Hell 'N' Back Welding Ltd. But it’s when the sparks fly that Doug fully becomes “the Demon” — an elite fire performer known for pushing beyond the boundaries of what the human body can safely do with fire.
With more than a decade of professional performance under his belt with the award-winning Circus of Hell, Doug has stunned audiences with fire breathing, fire eating, and flame-based stunts that defy both fear and physics. Doug’s expertise is rooted in decades of precision, heat control, and flame mechanics. He combines big flames and a demonic persona for unmatched visual intensity on stage
Doug’s act isn't just entertainment. It’s superhuman industrial performance art.
