depending on how long you are going for, try gotravel online insurance, they are pretty cheap for cover under (i think) around 40-60 days. Hope this helps smile

There's loads of adverts for these compaines on the underground. I think that columbus are one who seem quite good.

Try them, if not, just keep an eye out when on t'Underground.

I think your unlikely to get anyone to cover you for fire performing since they will assume its an added continuous risk. Insurance companis make their money from the fact that prob only about 1/10 people require a claim, so with you saying you'll be fire performing aswell to them it's like saying I will be swimming with sharks every day with a steak in my pants

My philosophy for travel insurance is that it should patch you up and send you home if you're about to drop dead. I've got mine through insure and go but have never made a claim so don't know how good it actually is. most stuff seems to be covered, and what isn't is easily added.

If you're actually performing then you'd need international liability insurance which'll cost a packet. But if you're actually performing then the venue should have all the appropriate insurance. If you're just fire spinning then nothing will actually state that as being covered, but conversely it probably doesn't state that as been excluded so you're fine.
