The Flying Fools of the Desert
Soaring in from the shimmering sands of the storybook desert come two hilariously mysterious wanderers: Ruby Murray and Alfonso Mango – the Flying Fools of the Desert. Travelling atop their enchanting flying carpets, these comedic characters bring fantasy, flight, and foolishness wherever they go.
With their flamboyant attire, playful banter, and interactive roaming performances, these magical misfits are ideal for immersive themed events, family festivals, literary celebrations, and theatrical walkabouts. It’s comedy meets illusion, wrapped in the rich aesthetic of Arabian nights and vintage fantasy.
What to Expect from the Flying Fools
These unforgettable performers blend Victorian adventurer charm with slapstick silliness, floating through your event on their “flying carpets” and bewildering guests with tall tales, daft jokes, and awkward attempts at heroism.
- Roaming, Interactive Comedy – Perfect for breaking the ice and drawing a crowd
- Flying Carpet Illusion – A visual spectacle that creates magical photo ops
- Character-Led Storytelling – Playful improvisation with nods to folklore and fantasy
- Physical Comedy – Inspired by classic British slapstick and pantomime traditions
No stage needed – they’ll bring the theatre right to your guests.

Heathrow Airport Limited
Line Dancers (Supreme)
It was the first time that the Club has used a similar service and the dancers were excellent and also able to flex their approach to meet our needs (as the stage space was limited and headset mics in short supply). We captured some fantastic photos that show just how much our employees enjoyed the event and all the dancers were friendly and helpful. It helped us to get into the party spirit and also set the Western theme/tone really well
