Ethel Darling compère

Ethel Darling compère / host / MC.

Quick-witted, charming and clever, Ethel can get any crowd going. Whether it's covering set & band changes or simply announcing acts she has a plethora of tricks and games in her pocket to tie an evening together and keep an audience engaged. 

Whether it's climbing through a coat hanger or playing what am I holding? (a genius mime game she came up with), Ethel can distract from even the most complicated of set changes.

Testimonials

"Ethel Darling is an hilarious and hard working clown who hand picks humble and honest moments to invite joyful play with her audience. She has travelled the world to be taught by the forehumans of Clowning and has come back with her own empowered approach that slashes the opening ceremony ribbon, firmly sidestepping and creating a path all of her own". - Alexandra Hofgartner

"Ethel is very charismatic."

"In 2024 I first booked Ethel as our compere for a weekend of circus and burlesque performances at a large-scale event and was thoroughly pleased with her work. Our audiences were entertained from beginning to end and it was lovely to leave that flow of energy throughout the matinee and evening performances in Ethel's capable hands. I am very much looking forward to working with her again soon." Rosie Rainbow Circus
