Biography

Circus of Hell, Peace River, Alberta

This fearless duo perform record-setting fire and circus sideshow stunts that will shock and amaze you. They are always ready to surprise you with strange new feats as they dance with life threatening danger for your delight, whether on stage, on film, or roving your festival interacting directly with a crowd. Two Circus of Hell Instagram videos have recently gone viral with millions of views each.

Doug the Demon

Demon is the world's most extreme fire eater, an unrepentant punk, and the last of a long line of fire kings. He can put knives up his nose, eat hot coals, lick red hot metal, eat fire from two blowtorches, eat fire from two propane cutting torches, and to this day he is the only person in the world to ever extinguish an oxyacetylene welding torch on his tongue. He has appeared eating red hot coal for Discovery TV's Outrageous Acts of Science, drinking his coffee while on fire on Wild & Weird America, starred as the Devil in YYCMA Music Video of the Year 2019 Don't Die Until You're Dead, and was featured on the History Channel's The Proof is Out There.

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.
