Circus with a big difference in Derby

The Circus of Horrors celebrates its 21st anniversary by paying a visit to Bass's Recreation Ground in Derby on September 9-10 from 8pm.

The latest incarnation of the show features an amazing amalgamation of bizarre, brave and beautiful acts all woven into a Alice in Horrorland-type story driven by a mainly original soundscape and performed with a forked tongue firmly in each cheek.

Annually the Circus of Horrors plays over 100 UK theatres and this tour has expanded to take in festivals throughout the world.

The show also played an astounding 10 nights at London’s O2.

This is not the first time that The Circus of Horrors has created history as it became the only circus ever to reach the finals of Britain’s Got Talent and the first circus to perform in London’s West End for over 100 years.

The Circus Of Horrors’ appearances on various subsequent TV shows have turned what started as a cult show into a household name – taking the extreme to the mainstream.
