Act
Professor Elemental has created a unique neo-Victorian blend of hip hop and
comedy, and is the man behind the youtube hits, ‘Cup Of Brown Joy’ and
‘Fighting Trousers’. His music charts subjects such as steam-powered flight,
lovely horses, strange inventions and a nice cup of tea. With a heart of brass
and a pair of goggles, he embodies the Victorian spirit of invention and
exploration.
His award winning act of lively Hip Hop, stand up comedy and crowd
participation has astounded crowds at events and music festivals around the
world including Glastonbury Festival, Dragon Con and The San Francisco
Edwardian Ball. He has been lucky enough to win piles of awards including
‘Best Solo performer’ & ‘Best personality’ (steampunk chronicle readers
awards), Best Musical Act (Brighton fringe) as well as winning the award for
‘Greatest living eccentric and ‘most Eccentric artist’ (The Eccentric club of
Great Britain).

Character Biography
Professor Elemental
Professor elemental was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. It was
removed by doctors soon afterwards and remains in the British Museum of
the unpleasant to this very day. His father was a victim of a severe grinding
accident whilst working on the creation of a new grinding machine, leaving
baby elemental to be raised under the watchful eye of his overprotective
mother. Fed on a diet of pureed swan and old-fashioned British madness, he
soon grew into one of the least respected and most ridiculed Professors to
ever be turned away from every London society (including the cub scouts and
the WI). Undeterred, he continues to work tirelessly on inventions that are
both unwanted and unwelcome in polite society with the aid of his trusty
butler Pugh and his Augmented Oran tang Geoffrey. He enjoys dissection,
gin and shrieking with maniacal giggles at inopportune moments.
Aside from a few of his experiments (best left unmentioned), the Professor
first got himself noticed with the track Cup of Brown Joy. The video, which
has notched up over 2 million views on YouTube was followed by many more,
each more ridiculous than the last. Known for his outlandish live shows and
delightful knees, he regularly appears around the world, dancing about like a
loon.
