Catch the chaotic Circus of Horrors this month at Cambridge Corn Exchange
Certain to blast away any January boredom, The Circus of Horrors will be smashing into Cambridge for one night only on Saturday 23 January, promising an evening of extreme entertainment to mark their 21st anniversary. Beginning life at the Glastonbury Festival way back in 1995, this motley crew of performers stormed into the final of TV’s Britain’s Got Talent with their sword swallowing, fire eating and jaw-dropping aerial stunts. Since then they’ve gone on to tour the world, from Aberdeen to Argentina, performing with artists such as Eminem, Motörhead, Muse and more. Last year they also became the first circus to appear in the West End for 100 years. An impressive feat, but they’re not resting on their laurels – in fact, the latest show, Welcome to the Carnevil, promises their most spellbinding, gruesomely awesome show yet. Set in Victorian London, Jack the Ripper is at large, terrorising the city, and the freakshow is alive and well. The story follows a young girl with dreams of running away to join the circus: dreams which quickly become nightmares at the decrepit Carnevil with its killer clowns, demon dwarves and death-defying aerialists. Join in with the fun at the Corn Exchange, ticket prices start at £21.50 and we’ve heard the flaming finale is quite a spectacle…
