Internationally renowned and motivationally captivating, Martika, the one woman stunt show, hails from Kansas City, MO- USA. Raised in a military family, Martika grew comfortable constantly moving about the globe from a young age. Learning from the best instructors the world of circus has to offer, this delightfully dangerous daredevil studied circus arts, fire, escapology, and a slew of sideshow skill sets before ever taking a stage. Twelve years under her belt she entertains with innovative stunts such as barbed wire hula hooping. All the while incorporating informative uplifting messages in her shows. Martika’s main message? No matter how terrifying a goal may be, it is achievable.
What is it about Mike Wood that makes him seem like such an ideal long-term partner? He can make you laugh until you snort. Is that it? He’s good with kids, your Mom loves him, and he builds things with his hands. Is that it? He can fold a fitted sheet solo, ride a bike that steers in reverse, and catch a catapulted cabbage on a spike on his head? Is THAT it? Or… does it all come down to his fabulous hair?
