Contortionist Rubber Ritchie

Richard Rosson (Rubber Ritchie) practised a yoga lifestyle (daily yogic exercises or asanas, vegan, drug free diet and meditation) for four years and realised that people were amazed when he showed what he could do.

He transformed some of the asanas into a contortionist act, training for 4-5 hours a day and began to perform to astonished audiences on the streets of Covent Garden in London. He was quickly snapped up by the Circus of Horrors which took him on tour to the north of England and Scotland.

Since then he has performed at a variety of corporate functions, clubs, festivals and promotional events.

Ritchie appears regularly on television. Past appearances have included:

The Salon (Ch4), Dick and Dom in Da Bingalow (BBC1), Trisha (Ch5), Channel 4 News, and the Richard and Judy show (Ch4). Ritchie had a part in the feature film ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’. He is frequently featured in many national newspaper and magazine articles.

Ritchie is a bass player and a qualified Sivananda Yoga teacher.
