The Blackpool Tower Circus is Back with a Bang!

The Blackpool Tower Circus offers an exciting mix of acrobatics, dance and comedy, laced with death-defying stunts and concludes with the famous water grand finale!
World-famous clown Mooky enters into comical back-and-fourths with his brother Mr Boo throughout the show. The light-hearted banter created laughter amongst the children, as well as giggles from the adults. Mooky, a loveable cheeky-chappy holds nothing back in his audience interaction and puts on an impromptu Bollywood-style mini movie in which he enlists three members of the audience to be the cast. They loosely follow his acting as he hilariously pokes fun at their mishaps whilst cheering them on to complete the daft scene.
Highly dangerous stunts were the highlight of the Circus, which sees one acrobat run around a suspended spinning wheel whilst blindfolded. Performers thrown in the air from a trapeze swing and knife throwing stunts will keep you on your toes throughout the second half. The stunts, combined with the Bollywood theme create a dazzling combination of danger and beauty with a hint of old-school slapstick comedy and traditional circus acts.
After glow-in-the-dark hula-hooping, juggling, balancing, laughter and stunts - the not-to-be-missed grand finale sees the Circus stage go down as the water flows in to fill the arena. Elephant props and all the glamorous acts appear to conclude the show in a visual feast of water fountains, acrobatics, lights, smoke and music.
The show is a two-hour long spectacular with interval. For the very young in the audience, you may need to bring something along to keep them entertained to avoid them getting restless in the interval, but this is a highly enjoyable Circus with a twist for all ages!
