Charbonneaux, has traveled the world with his cycling acrobatics shows for

family: it was with his son Eliot that he created Peaky Bikers, a show combining
comedy and acrobatics, which is inspired by the famous British series Peaky Blinders.

with the participation of the public. All of this is enhanced with a good dose of humor!

Stage
Birmingham, late 19th century, bicycle couriers working for the gangs of
criminals... Very clever, they easily escape the police.
In 1921, these delivery men, already known as Peaky Bikers, decided to settle down and created the first troupe of cycling acrobats in England of the same name.
For 20 years, they traveled the roads of Great Britain and then Europe,
but we lost track of them after the war.
Costumes and presentation from the 20s, acrobatics on the ground and on the springboard... Only the
Bicycles and aerial flights have been brought back into fashion.
Between acrobatics, witticisms, humor and careful staging, the father and son duo, Johnny and Eliot, the only descendants of this line of outstanding acrobats, reconnect
today with everything that made this troupe famous.
Wandering
Attention ladies and gentlemen, the Peaky Bikers are on the street!
As a duo, as in the old days, they harangue the public at the bend of a street, an alley or a square, perched on a penny-farthing, harnessed to a looping bike or performing tricks on a BMX.
They adapt to the atmosphere with their English phlegm or disturb when everything is peaceful, it's your choice or not!
If you're lucky, they'll be friendly and let you take a picture with them, or even let you climb on the Gran Bi and become a Peaky Biker for a moment!
