CHARLIE FRYE: Embracing Eccentricity

Charlie Frye began life as a clown, performing alongside his father and grandfather. He then joined the circus and kidnapped a ballerina – his future wife, Sherry. Together they created a distinctive, original act that’s undeniably fresh, yet designed to feel classic, blending skill and physical comedy. As one of the world's most successful variety acts, they've appeared on television in over twenty countries, including numerous appearances on Le Grand Cabaret du Monde and starring in The World's Top Shows. They've also opened for Liza Minnelli and traveled extensively with The Illusionists, playing the famed Sydney Opera House and The Palace on Broadway. Voted “Specialty Act of the Year” in Las Vegas for their star turn in the Folies Bergere. Charlie Frye & Co are also the recipients of the coveted Ken Dodd Comedy Award in England, the Award of Excellence from the International Jugglers' Association, a Performing Fellowship from The Magic Castle in Hollywood, and an Honorary Professional Membership from The Magic Circle in London.
