Shuggie Martin aka Hugh Brown

Disillusioned with work in the civil service, Hugh studied performing arts and discovered the circus community in Belfast. Founding member of Streetwise Community Circus Workshops, he realised that his interest lay particularly in performance and went on to work in various double acts before forming Yella Fever Foundation, which toured Ireland and parts of Europe. Returning to the stage with local theatre company Cahoots NI, Hugh has developed a clown comfortable in scenarios as diverse as street corners in Cambodia, markets of Sardinia, theatres in South Korea and hospitals in Ireland.
