UK CIRCUS & PARTY MAYHEM (Age 16+)

It’s Sophie’s 29th birthday party, and you’re invited… but don’t tell Sophie!

It’s circus. It’s comedy. It’s chaos. Sophie’s Surprise 29th features world-leading performers from Cirque du Soleil, La Clique, The 7 Fingers and more. This talented cast will make you believe you’re one of the guests for a superb ninety minutes of cheeky fun. Six world-leading entertainers perform death-defying circus mixed with a 90s house party, set to a pumping soundtrack of old faves. This style of cabaret entertainment is the perfect night out, and when Sophie shows up, even she’s amazed at what’s going on.

As an audience member, prepare to be part of this wild birthday bash! If you’ve ever been to a surprise party, you know the anticipation of waiting for the guest of honour to arrive. In Sophie’s Surprise 29th, the cast does an excellent job of getting the fun started. Party hits are playing, and they’re passing out party hats, spraying glitter, and Lynx Body Spray around, and a shady character is dealing what appear to be Jammie Dodgers. It’s clear from the outset that this is going to be an epic party.

“Young company, Three Legged Race Productions, has created a show that stands out by being so joyfully crass that you can’t help but love it. The concept is simple: we’re at a party, possibly in the late 90’s/early 2000’s, with a selection of misfits and weirdos. There’s a chav, a goth, a party girl, the “ugly” girl, the cool chick, and the drug dealer. Each character is clearly defined from the outset, and all play their roles to perfection. But there’s a circus alongside the comedy, and each performer does an excellent job of showing off their skills.” — Frodo Allan, Broadway Baby

“Thrilling…There are shocks aplenty as daredevils perform death-defying acts”
