‘Lost in Circus‘ is a new video series from old Carnival Cinema friend & supporter – Irish circus performer & filmmaker Ken Fanning (Tumble Circus). In 2017 Ken made the first Ethereum – Blockchain funded feature film The Pitts Family Circus. Read an Interview with Ken on Carnival Cinema from 2017 about directing that – Here
‘Lost in Circus‘ has a very simple premise, it is a short form Interview series where Ken talks to the amazing circus humans that he meets around the world and asks them the same 3 questions:
1. How did you get lost in Circus?
2. What’s the craic* with you now?
3. And what’s your next adventure?
Below is the first 5 episodes (which we will keep adding to), they are a bunch of awesome creative folk.
Thanks Ken for sharing the stories and nurturing the culture, love your work.

Ken Fanning AKA Ken Evil
Ken was raised in the grubby Dublin suburb town of Balbriggan.
He entered the world of entertainment at a very early age. By the time he was 13 he was watching at least 7 hours of television a night. In 1995 Ken began travelling with his juggling equipment on the continent, bumbling through Holland, down to France, and settling for a time in Spain. On his travels he met up with buskers, street performers and artists and became inspired with their work and their way of life. He began believing he could live the way they did. In April of 1997 Ken met Tina Segner on Grafton Street in Dublin; they have been working together ever since.
Ken and Tina formed Tumble Circus in 1998 and moved to, and are now based out of Belfast. They believe in a commitment to their work and training, and this ideology has helped them surpass their own goals of becoming street performers to now touring internationally as a professional street theatre company and circus performers.
