Welcome to the world of slapstick up high.  Enjoy the antics of these two Chaplinesque Charlies. Your guests will be amused by their height, their hilarious big boots, their bickering and bubbling banter and their overall awsome visual effect.  Their presence will make the day for your visitors.

The Chaplins appeared at the Glastonbury  Arts Festival in the UK in 2005 where they were honoured to be hailed by Arabella Churchill as one of her favourite acts ever!

Meanwhile, they have been waddling and arguing their way through the Rocks in Sydney, Darling Harbour Harbourside Sydney, and numerous corporate celebrations including the Clown Doctors Annual Fundraising Gala Ball at Luna Park.
