Gary Lee from escapology to Mini Monster Trucks

Our very good friend — and the painter of our Monster Trucks — Gary Lee from Mini Monster Truck Mania, joins us to share his incredible journey in the entertainment industry. Starting at just 13 years old as an exotic escapologist, Gary recalls some of the wild routines he performed, including hanging from cranes.He later rebranded himself as a sequin-wearing stuntman, famously being "exploded" in a coffin by the Thai stunt team. Gary went on to develop a clown act involving a spinning ladder, which sadly led to a serious back injury that ended his performing career.Refusing to give up showbiz, Gary purchased a classic act called The Battling Cumberland Giants, complete with iconic props, before developing Mini Monster Truck Mania. Today, he brings joy to children and adults across the UK by offering mini monster truck driving experiences, and he also serves as the Chair of the Amusements and Catering Equipment Society.
