Imagine a brilliant rock show combined with amazing, bizarre and daredevil circus acts, a stellar light show and all performed with a forked tongue firmly in each cheek. If Quentin Tarantino had directed Cirque Du Soleil, you would be half way there.
The Circus of Horrors is back with a bang and a brand new show, Psycho Asylum which includes an amazing amalgamation of acts, driven by a rock n roll sound scape, a show that will have you sat on the edge of your seat when not falling off it with laughter.
The almighty cast that stormed into the finals of Britain's Got Talent is now a West End & World Wide Hit will take you on a roller coaster ride of sword swallowers, cross bow and knife trowing ultra vixens, flaming hula hooping divas, hair hangers, strong men, whirlwind acrobats, twisted contortionists, sinister aerialists, the darkest of Magic and lots, lots more.
It is a circus like no other, and a show you simply can't afford to miss. Whether you are a rock fan or theatre goer The Circus of Horrors has something for everyone.
2018 see's the 250th anniversary of 'the Circus' after its invention by Major Philip Astley on London's South Bank in 1768, an institution that is as popular today than it has ever been.
