Circus of Hell, Peace River, Alberta

This fearless duo perform record-setting fire and circus stunts that will shock and amaze you. Two-time CanSpin national award winners Sisu and Demon have been featured on Discovery's Outrageous Acts of Science, in the Calgary Music Awards 2019 Music Video of the Year, and in their own mini-documentary for the New York Post's Extraordinary People.

They are always ready to surprise you with strange new feats as they dance on the edge of danger for your delight, whether on stage, on film, or roving your festival interacting directly with a crowd.

Doug the Demon

Demon is the world's most extreme fire eater and the last of a long line of fire kings. He can eat hot coals, lick red hot metal, eat fire from two blowtorches, and to this day is the only person to ever extinguish a welding torch on his tongue. He appeared as the Devil in the YYCMA Music Video of the Year 2019, Punch Drunk Cabaret's Don't Die Until You're Dead.

Sisu van Hell

Sisu is a fire dancer, enchanting you with her fearless smile as she dances in flames, walks on broken glass, or floats her glowing magic wand effortlessly across the stage. She won Leviwander of the Year in the 2019 national CanSpin Awards.

Together they set crowded theatres on fire with passion and excitement.
