The Extreme Stunt Show is the result of a life long ambition of the late entrepreneur Mark Phillips. As a young teenager Mark visited The American Hell Drivers Show which was touring in the UK and he was smitten. From that day on he was determined that one day he would promote the best touring stunt show ever.

Mark became a bill poster for the show putting posters in windows. When the show returned to the USA he was approached by Gerry Cottle's Circus and did the same job for them. The following year a geerman team cam to the UK and Mark was offered the job of Billing Manager. For 10 years his job took him all over the world working alonside the best in the business.

Looking to settle down he returned to the UK and negociated a contract with Jerry Cottle to organise his own team to put up Gerry's Posters. This was the start of Plan-It Poster Distribution Ltd. The company is recognised today as the leaders in poster distribution in Europe with clients like Holiday On Ice, Disney On Ice and The Moscow State Circus as well as many County and Council Shows. Last year they distributed over 1.5 million posters and 15 million leaflets. He also bought and imported from the USA The Goliath Monster Truck, The Vorian Transformer Truck and The Rocket Monster Truck and built his own Exploding Coffin.

The success of his business made it possible for him to venture into event promotion and in 1999 he worked alongside Steve Street Griffin, who was the top stuntman in the UK, and the Hollywood Stunt Show was born. The show employed experienced artists who have worked all over the world and the show did a 142 venue tour of the UK. In 2000 Steve was offered stunt work on The Titanic which gave Mark the opportunity of buying out Steve's interest and he became the shows sole owner. The show spent 4 winter months in Malaysia and a week in Brunei before returning to the UK for a further summer season.

The show has never stopped evolving and in 2003 one of the teams monster truck Goliath was requisitioned to appear in a Turtle Wax TV advertisement for Extreme Car Polish. The trucks name was changed to The Extreme and the truck was taken to Northern Ireland for a magnificent paint job.

With the advent of Extreme Sports it was decided to stay with the name and the show became "The Extreme Stunt Show".

To keep with the Extreme Sports theme the show now features The Extreme Moto Cross Team and The Extreme Mountain Bike Display Team who blend in with the rest of the acts in the show.
