THE STORY SO FAR...
For Alonso, showbusiness wasn't so much a career choice... It was the family business.
A third-generation performer, Alonso grew up surrounded by entertainment. His father began his career as a professional drummer in a successful 1960s pop group before becoming a magician, while his mother worked as a costume designer.Alonso first took to the stage as a child, performing alongside his father and spent most of his childhood travelling internationally as part of the family's magic show.
THEn came the circus...
Alonso began his own professional career under the big top as an
award-winning comedian and juggler, working with some of Europe's largest
circus productions.
His comedy education continued under alumni of the legendary Ringling Bros.
and Barnum & Bailey Clown College, developing the physical comedy, timing
and audience interaction that remain trademarks of his performances today.
His work went on to earn numerous accolades, including Best Comedy Act at
Spain's Festival Internacional de Circ and Clowns International's Taffy Stone
Award for Best Comedy performance 2 years running.
from the big top
TO THE WORLD...
Over more than 15 years as a professional performer,
Alonso has developed his unusual background into a
distinctive style of comedy magic that has taken him
from circus rings to theatres, comedy clubs, cruise ships,
international resorts, corporate events and television
around the world.
As a result, Alonso has also shared stages and worked
alongside some of the biggest names in entertainment,
including Brian Conley, Dara Ó Briain, Angellica Bell,
Frank Bruno, Carol Vorderman, Peter Andre, Gok Wan,
Mick Miller and the legendary Ken Dodd.
COSTA RICAN ROOTS.
LATIN ENERGY.
ZERO SUPERVISION.
Costa Rican raised and with British input, Alonso's performances combine sharp
observational humour, storytelling, visual comedy, audience interaction and
seriously impressive magic, all delivered with a healthy dose of Latin energy and
absolutely no interest in taking the traditional image of a magician too seriously.

Childhood magic shows. Circus. Comedy. 25+ countries. Costa Rican family. British humour. And considerably more time spent in airports than any sensible person would recommend.
