Today I graduated as a Doctor of Philosophy at University of Exeter.
Thank you to everyone who has helped make this possible.
My thesis was entitled "‘The Itinerant British Showman': an exploration of the history and remediation of three popular entertainment forms." If you care to read a version, it was published in the international journal 'Popular entertainment Studies' (link here: https://novaojs.newcastle.edu.au/ojs/index.php/pes/article/view/190 ). If you want the full version, which was in an Ebook format, then contact me and I'll try to send you a link.
In the spirit of my thesis, I wore academic robes, my pink, vermillion check suit with diamante accoutrements, a red nose and curtsied to the Chancellor... I am now officially Dr Uncle Tacko! (or DrUncle!)

A lovely take on the old Harpo/Groucho mirror routine by Lucille Ball & Harpo...
Yesterday's Grins
Lucy and Harpo - The Mirror.
We thoroughly enjoyed bringing The Peepshow to The Georgian Fair at Beamish Industrial Museum earlier in the month: we met a fabulous silhouettist who did this cut-out of the Raree Man in just 4 minutes, whilst standing next to me in the sunshine and we were sent this lovely photographic portrait too...
Here we are in Ulverston at another 'Another Fine Fest' last weekend - a great fixture in our calendar.
What larks we had with The Georgian Society at 'The Assembly En Fete' in Fitzroy Square last week....
A classic clown in a classic routine - watch with joy and wonder. Just lovely...
