The Circus of Horrors is about to embark on its new tour with what is undoubtedly its most fantastic show to date. The show that stormed into the finals of Britain’s Got Talent is back with an awe-inspiring rock ‘n’ roller coaster ride of a show that flies like a bat out of hell to celebrate an astounding 18 years of shock ‘n’ roll. It’s a tour that not only takes in most of the UK’s cities from Inverness to Truro it also takes the show to London’s West End & in doing so becomes the first Circus have a residency in London’s Theatre land for over 100 years.
Ever since its conception at the 1995 Glastonbury Festival, The Circus of Horrors has toured the world, achieving cult status and dragging circus screaming and shouting into the 21st century and beyond.
The new sensation is inspired by the legendary and sinister lost movie ‘London after Midnight’ and is packed with new shocks that will take you on a whirlwind journey through a plague-ridden London in 1665 and culminating in the great fire of 1666.
The story twist and turns as five murders are committed in various London landmarks, each one becoming more and more horrific and all intermingled with some of the greatest, most daring, bizarre and beautiful circus acts on earth.
From sword swallowers to daredevil balancing acts, from hairculian women hanging from their hair to a demon dwarf strong man, from a pickled person to astounding aerial acts, from twisted contortionists to mind blowing and fire limbo dancing acrobats. All performed with a forked tongue firmly in each cheek by an almighty cast and the devil driven rock n’ roll of Dr Haze & The Interceptors from Hell. If Quentin Tarantino had directed Cirque Du Soleil then you would be only half way there.
