Fire at The Fringe

I have written before about my son Ric who is a street entertainer (see my archive for October 2005 - Spare Parts). He is currently busking up at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and I had an email from him today with a link to a blog by a Fringe photographer who is doing a lot of street shots: http://thelastpictureshow.blogspot.com/ They are colourful and full of life, and if you scroll down far enough Ric appears in one of the shots, wearing a white shirt and breathing fire. It is good that he is getting into the picture.


I have some shots of him both breathing fire and juggling with flaming torches, which have the added advantage of having been taken at night, so I am sticking them up here, although they were taken some years ago, but not by me.

Does fire breathing pose a health risk
From swallowing petrol or lighter fuel?
And what ha[[ens if someone makes you laugh with a mouthful of ?

Yes, there is some risk involved, and Ric told me not long after these pictures were taken (several years ago) that he wasn't going to do it any more. So I'm a bit worried (as mothers are) to find he's doing it again at The Fringe, apparently. I shall have to have a word. But street theatre and stuff is a hard way to make a living, although he loves doing it.
