Episode 3 of Irwin’s travels is now availble in the “Videos” section of this site so do have a good look and a giggle.
Thank you to all the students of California Arts institute that took part in the Irwin Experience

Irwin in LA

It is with regret that I must inform you that there will be no photos or filmic evidence of Irwin being in Belfast last month, him having not actually arrived there. He got on the wrong flight and went somewhere unexpected.
There is, on the other hand, a comic front page for Irwin in Belfast that will be posted soon. But where’s the full comic of ”Irwin in London?” you say…well that will have to wait a while longer. The reason?…Dissertation, baby, oh yeah! 

However, here comes the good news; Irwin has been found and will return to form for his next adventure…

-= Irwin in LA =-

That’s right, you may have read an earlier post and discovered that Irwin would be visiting the good people of California…primarily the students of California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). Stay tuned for the next lot of pictures and capers….and a brand new Irwin Video Episode!

Thanks to the generosity of all who sponsored him, Irwin has raised £400 for the organisation – “Echoes of Silence”, who run brigades in Nicaragua to help the communities with irrigation, aggricultural and social projects.

Irwin would like to say a massive ‘Thank You’ to everyone who sponsored the run and everyone who sent messages of support before the race

On 21st March

, Irwin will be travelling to the English town of Reading to take part in the Half Marathon. That’s right! He can do that too!
This run is in aid of a Nicaraguan project (run by an independent organisation known as “Echoes of Silence“) to reduce grey water build-up in the barrios of Managua.

IRWIN IS HOPING TO RAISE £500 FOR “ECHOES OF SILENCE”…
Please visit the sponsor page for more information, and, if you can, donate some money to Irwin’s Run!

You can also just click HERE to donate towards the cause.

Irwin in Belfast

If you’re in Belfast on the 27th March, and would like to meet Irwin the Travelling Mime…Irwin has been invited to a Wedding in Belfast so from 25th-27th March Irwin will be living it up in Belfast.
The 27th is when Irwin will be doing most of his public sight seeing, so if you’d like to meet up, simply leave a message with Irwin on his facebook: www.facebook.com/irwin.the.mime

Sent to S.Africa

As was mentioned before, Irwin did indeed visit the nation of South Africa.
A young couple by the names Joe and Rosie offered to take Irwin to visit family members all the way down there, to show him a land he’s never seen before. How could Irwin refuse!
But oh was there so much drama involved!

Irwin was sent to their home town in England in mid January. But there was so much trouble with the ice and snow that he didn’t reach the house in time. So off Joe and Rosie flew without Irwin for their two weeks in sun.
Just an hour after they leave the house, Irwin comes a knocking on the Gloucester home. “You’re too late”, sighed Joe’s dad, “but I have an idea!”
Irwin was popped in a little brown envelope and sent to the address the couple would be staying at.

It was a long trip, filled with wonders hidden from Irwin by the bubble wrap and brown paper…but a day shy of two weeks later he arrived, ready for the last day of Joe and Rosie’s trip to South Africa. Talk about a close call!
And what a day they had…see the photos of the trip on the page: “Mandela Square & More”

Irwin in South Africa

This time he will be travelling with some new friends, Joe and Rosie, who were lovely enough to invite him along for the journey!

Stay tuned for more pictures!

A massive thank you to everyone for making memories with Irwin, to all those who were brave enough to stand infront of Irwin’s video camera (there are a lot of camera-shy people in the world!).

Irwin met a loads of interesting people from around the world. A whole horde of charity collectors from Nottingham University, group of extremely colourful artists in Covent Garden, a headless man, and even the Queen herself!

People from France, Singapore, USA, Pakistan, Australia, India, Scotland, South Africa <– Irwin’s going there next!

There was also a beautiful friends reunited moment between Irwin the Mime and Eva Lou, whom he met in Hamburg over 3 years ago, on his first travels. The improbable does happen my friends.

A few people also got stuck into the Travelling Mime spirit and took masks around London. I’ll put their photos up on the ‘Irwin Masks’ page.

Keep a look out next week for the Irwin in London video.

CANCELLED DUE TO ILLNESS

Look for updates on where to meet Irwin while he’s in London.
There will be opportunities to get involved with the video project.

The rest of the time, Irwin will be wandering the streets of London, seeing the sights. He’s never been to London before so, with such a short time, he’ll be trying to see as much as possible!

There will be opportunities to be involved with pictures and videos, so bring your smiling selves down and let’s make some memories.
Maybe you’ll meet eachother by chance, or at the predetermined places and times. Either way, it’d be nice to introduce you.
