Early Years
Founded in the late 19th century by a group of adventurous, slightly-inflated individuals, the Inflatable Union Jack was initially a traveling circus act featuring daredevils who would inflate themselves into various shapes and sizes to thrill audiences.
- 1890: The Inflatable Union Jack is born in a small, cramped tent on the outskirts of town.
- 1905: The act gains popularity, with audiences drawn to the spectacle of performers inflating themselves into giant hamsters, pink flamingos, and other absurd shapes.
- 1910: The group's leader, Jack "The Human Balloon" Johnson, becomes a local celebrity, known for his impressive ability to inflate himself into a human-sized hamster while juggling chainsaws.
