Burl the Bubble Guy, a brief history

Burl the Bubble Guy, also known as Darren Burrell, began his performing career in 1995 when he was accepted to Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey's Clown College. While at Clown College he was shown some simple bubble tricks and was hooked. After Clown College, Burl joined the Kelly Miller Circus in 1996 and continued working on his bubble act. In 2000 he joined Ringling Bros. Circus and eventually became 'Boss Clown' in 2003. After leaving the road, Burl moved to Myrtle Beach, SC and joined the Seaside Clowns perfoming at the Myrtle Beach Pavilion, a 'coney-island' style amusement park. Burl has also had the good fortune of performing his bubble act on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. "Perfecting my bubble act has been a joyous experience for over 10 years and I want to share that passion, excitement and fun with my audiences for many more years to come." -Burl
