For more than three decades, Chris Suttle has dedicated his life to bringing the extraordinary to life. Beginning his journey as a fire performer at just 18 years old and taking on the legendary persona of Blackbeard at 19, Chris has spent his career pursuing one lifelong dream: combining the wonder of the circus with the adventure, mischief, and magic of the pirate’s life.

An accomplished character actor, fire performer, and theatrical entertainer, Chris has portrayed the infamous Blackbeard in numerous television productions, most recently appearing on Discovery Channel’s Expedition X.

But Captain Scurvy’s Carnival is far more than a traditional fire show or comedy magic act. It’s an immersive theatrical experience where daring fire artistry, whip tricks, comedy, improvisation, audience participation, and piratical storytelling collide.

At its heart, Captain Scurvy’s Carnival is a celebration of the human spirit, imagination, and the extraordinary possibilities that exist when we allow ourselves to believe in a little magic.

Through laughter, breathtaking spectacle, and moments of genuine wonder, Captain Scurvy invites audiences of all ages to rediscover something many of us leave behind in childhood: that intoxicating feeling that anything is possible.

Because growing older doesn’t mean we have to stop believing in magic.
