An earlier act was Colonel Tom Parker's Operatic Chinese acrobatic squid - on ice. With fireworks.
They folded after it proved difficult to get public liability insurance.

It's true; though how much 'persuading' a chicken would take to appear to dance if you put it on an electric hotplate is debatable!

To be honest I don't know. Apparently history has slated the Colonel as a shyster and a devious character so take all allegations with a pinch of salt. Lets hope it wasn't true!
