Tommy Tickle is a clown who works in Sussex on the South Coast of England amazing all and sundry with his exceptional magic skills and astounding entertaining prowess.
He doesn't do much work nowadays because of a curfew imposed on him by a local court due to a client of his at a children's birthday party losing £35,000 from their bank account during the daring "Guess the PIN number" routine. The cash never turned up, but on his many trips abroad since that fateful day, Tickle has honed his act and successfully branched out into more magic tricks such as the classic "British Passport for 600 quid" gag, the "Temporary clown marriage licence for a grand" stunt whilst "Guess your own identity" has been hailed as a "modern classic" by GQ Magazine, "especially the bit where you can keep all of your new driving licences and credit cards for a small fee at the end of the party."
Tickle has a tremendous tolerance towards precocious children and vast quantities of strong alcohol, which reflects in his all-ages act in various workplace environs such as village halls, community centres, family homes and [legal] brothels.
Over the past few years, the idea of keeping up with the Jones', Mohammeds or Ng's has kept this lovable clown going because people are willing to blow loads of cash on hiring a professional idiot to show people how it's done properly. The opening part of all routines is where the clown, (who starts all parties as a plain clothes police officer "Jasper Brownenvelope" and sits down and explains to all the children at the party that all of their grandparents have just been killed on their way to the party and it's all the kids fault), then ushers in the birthday children and holds a mirror up to the parents and exclaims in a mournful Paul Simon voice that who you see in the mirror is the real idiot. After Brownenvelope defecates into a contact lens, Tommy Tickle emerges from the local pub and makes everyone balloons. As you can see, entertainment with "21st Century Quality" written all over it.
After a recent gruelling balloon sculpturing tour for the troops in Afghanistan, the Taliban said they would definitely book him again. They liked the bit where Tickle blew the balloons up, usually by a roadside checkpoint as under-equipped British service personnel were going past in their "made for the environment Skoda Favorites".
Party games are also catered for by Tickle, such as "Where's the Paedo?", "How much is my house worth this week?" and "Guess the Illness." Classics are still catered for, such as "Hokey Cokey" (which bowl is the talcum powder?), "Pass the Parcel" (but only at Abu Dhabi customs) and "Musical Chairs".
