Artist Lounge
Freddy Nock was practically born with talent. In 1964 he was born into the Swiss Nock family, father Alfredo Nock, mother Margrith Nock-Gautschi.
Already as a child he made his first attempts on a rope. At the age of 11 he started on the high wire. The first thirty years were marked by travels as a circus performer all over the world.
Freddy Nock, with his accumulated 30 world records, has established himself as a solo artist and extreme athlete. He is now recognized worldwide, as well as in the Guinness Book of Records, as the best high-wire walker of his time.
