Who was Doktor Haze?
Doktor Haze or Dr. Haze was the stage name of John Hayes Mabley, a British circus owner and performer, singer-songwriter, director of a company, and novelist.
He is the owner, ringmaster, and director of The Circus of Horrors, the longest-running alternative circus in Britain, which he co-founded with Gerry Cottle in 1995. Haze’s parents, who were also circus performers, raised him in Preston, Lancashire.
At age 16, John, who was at this time highly influenced by 1970s rock & roll and his favourite, singer-songwriter Marc Bolan of T Rex, learnt to play the guitar and began to compose his songs. When John and his band One Thing played live in the 1980s and 1990s, they started to include circus and horror elements in their performances to add drama.
The circus at the time was going through its development as animal rights demonstrations started to alter the way the industry looked. In December 1994, a terrible turn of events led him back to Lancashire: the murder of his godson in a circus accident at Blackpool Tower Circus. Sword swallowing, voodoo acrobats, facial piercing, and other nauseatingly strange human acts are all performed during his presentation of rock music.
The “Undead Ringmaster Doktor Haze,” also known as Mr. Haze, has performed with his circus in Chile, Uruguay, and most recently in the UK. He’s thinking about spending time in Israel.
Mr. Haze claims to have been born in a circus and started the Circus of Horrors in 1995. “My dad was a lion trainer. I ran away from the circus to have a bash at rock’n’roll and the Circus of Horrors is an amalgamation of all that.” Since then, he has made appearances at the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan and on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway on ITV. And he does bar mitzvahs.
There are no animals in the circus. Instead, there are performances by the fork-tongued Hannibal Helmurto, who can open a beer bottle with his eye, and Professor Daniel Von Henry, who can swallow a sword with a camera attached to the tip. ‘Is it safe or not safe? It’s a calculated risk, no riskier than driving in a race car’, according to Mr. Haze. However, the concert is “not suitable for chavs, sissies, closed-minded bigots and people of a nervous disposition,” according to the website.
His autobiography, Dr. Haze: Mud, Blood, and Glitter, was published in 2011. Haze is a co-owner of Circus Extreme and Continental Circus Berlin as well as the corporate director for the Moscow State Circus, Carters Steam Fair, and Psycho Management. He ran as an independent for Brighton Kemptown in 2017.
