The lovely Kenna Hoops doing some really rather wonderful single and double hoop shennaigary while drinking rum and ginger ale. First video from her in ages so well worth a watch.
Bags’ Comedy Fire Shows
Here’s a little bit of shameless self promotion. This is my new fire show promo. It has a little bit of fire hooping in it and some other random stuff including a bicycle on fire and on my face while I spin a flaming hoop cube around my body.
