Performers maintaining a wonderfully dubious relationship with their sanity are practically a requirement of the Spiegeltent, but Ole! leader Paul Morocco has merited his reputation for being indescribably mad.

The battered London ambulance he uses as a tour van has taken almost as much punishment as the guitars Morocco and bandmates Antonio Gomez and Guillermo de Endaya strum so thrillingly.

Defying serious injury while plunging through the roof of the vehicle, rolling on stage dressed as a giant grapefruit and juggling multiple ping-pong balls with his mouth has seen the American achieve legendary status.

Moroccos mission to create a "new language of flamenco, fire, fruit and fibre" began when a colleague introduced him to the joys of juggling lemons while he was washing dishes in a restaurant.

This simple opening sparked an obsession with fruit which, combined with his fearless creativity, saw him achieve notoriety as a showman at Covent Garden upon arrival in England.

Despite regularly committing minor arson at shows, Moroccos closest brush with fate came during a Brighton festival procession.

Five inches of rubber foam miraculously saved him from tragedy when the 5ft-wide orange he was perched in rolled down a main road after falling off a float.

His skill at cheating death is a relief given the lightning comedy, jangling banjos and virtuoso musicianship these fabulously flamboyant mavericks pursue.
