If you are walking around Galway city centre next week you might happen to see a man turning into a giant balloon. Do not be alarmed, it’s only Bruce Airhead.
Bruce Airhead is an original 30-minute comedy show which will take place next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in Eyre Square at 1pm and on Spanish Parade at 4pm, as part of the Galway Arts Festival.
Bruce, with a volunteer, uses a voice-activated vacuum cleaner to inflate a six-foot balloon. Then, wearing only brightly coloured shorts and choreographed to music, Bruce slides his toned Australian physique completely inside the balloon.
First his head, then his torso until finally the last leg slowly disappears from sight. Once inside, Bruce dances the balloon hilariously to a fast changing sequence of music all culminating in an explosive finish.
