About AshleyJBrophy

A compilation of shows and events in the last couple of years I have been involved with. Including my performance in AUSTRALIA'S GOT TALENT I received a standing ovation with both the Auditions and the semi finals. No negative comments from any of the judges and a big yes, yes, yes from Dani

About this user

. I was brought up in Circus and Show business and now operate a Production company out of Sydney.

Below is a bit more about me and you can see more at my website

People often ask me if I have had any accidents. I have had many, I have been left blinded in one eye after a fireworks accident in the Flying Angels show. This was at the time I was learning how to perform the back somersault on the wire. I carried to learn the salto with one eye, which was repaired one year later with an operation. I have had many broken bones and a bad back from falls and in 2007 I knocked myself out performing a back somersault out of the German wheel in front of 2000 people. I woke up in hospital. The semi final on Aust Got Talent vid has this trick. Nerves got to me here, it was the first time performing it since that accident and it wasn't high like it should have been.

Early days.
Ashley is from a large show business family that dates back to the early 1900's. In 1975 he started performing age of ten with his family, Parents Mick and Norma, sisters Shayne and Kym and brothers Warren and Gary (Ashley is the youngest). The first show was Hoyland Bros Circus and then later with Brophy Bros Circus. Since then with his performance on the Tight Wire he has broken two world records and created a new one. At the 1st Adelaide Grand Prix in 1988 Ashley shattered the old marathon endurance record by walking on a 20m high wire 11.5 km in 3.5 hours. (old record 3.5 km in 3.5 hours) Later with a skipping rope he became the first person in the world to break the 100 barrier going on to jump 393 times consecutively on the tightrope for the television show Just For The Record and at Moomba Festival 1987 Ashley became the only person (still to date) to walk a moving tight wire set on a moving float a distance of 5 km.

The Flying Angles produced by Brophy Bros Attractions.
In 1989 Ashley and Warren along with three other Stuntmen and women performed a never tried before Carousel on the High Wire over the famous Yarra river at Melbournes Moomba festival this included 5 people with a motorbike and Carousel with full sized Horses 80m above the river . The Flying Angels then did a two year tour of Capital shows and events as the major centre ring attraction around Australia.

International .
In 1990 Ashley was sponsored by Uncle Tobys Breakfast Cerial to compete in Paris were he became a prize-winner, at the Mondial du Cirque de Demaine with a performance including dancing and somersaulting on the Tight Wire. This performance earned him international recognition. For ten years afterwards he went on to perform in theatres, clubs, circus and corporate venues throughout the U.K., Sweden, Europe, Asia and South Africa all the time constantly perfecting his performance not only on the Tight Wire but also with other Circus Mediums.
