Haggis and Charlie
Haggis and Charlie are a comedy juggling act formed in 1984 by Haggis McLeod and Charlie Dancey. They learned their skills together at the Walcot Village Hall juggling workshop in Bath, England.[citation needed] Their first performance was a busking show that took place on the waterfront of Bristol Docks.[citation needed] Haggis and Charlie performed regularly on the streets of Bath in their early years together.[citation needed] They have been seen almost every year at Glastonbury Festival and became something of a tradition at the Winchester Hat Fair.[citation needed]
They were also involved in a successful world record attempt on 26 June 1994 when 826 people, juggling at least three objects each, kept 2,478 objects in the air, at Glastonbury Festival.[1]
For a brief time, the duo became a trio, when Pippa Tee joined the act, which was renamed Haggis & Chips (short for Haggis & Charlie & Pippa).[citation needed]
McLeod was married to Arabella Churchill, who assisted in founding and continuing the Glastonbury Festival.[2] Dancey is the author of a number of juggling and trick books, including:
