Episode Synopsis
Alex Oddball joins us this week to talk about his family's amazing journey to owning and running the world's largest juggling company.
He talks us through the incredible chance meeting of his parents that only happened because his dad dropped a juggling ball, their humble beginnings selling juggling equipment from a council estate bedroom in Hackney to the global business they run today.
Alex also discusses growing up travelling the world with his parents as they performed their juggling act, performing for Frank Lampard in his pants and the Queen of England fully clothed, Dr Martin Boots unicycles, nearly setting himself on fire in his first show in front of 60,000 people following Oasis at Glastonbury and the impact Brexit has already had on the company.
