The excitement builds as we sample the delicious festival food and drink, people of all ages waiting in anticipation. This is our chance to get a glimpse of what is on offer under the big top at Brighton Fringe. A circus cabaret like no other!
Revel Puck Circus is the epitome of what Fringe festivals are all about, providing an opportunity for people near and far to showcase their burgeoning talent; to entertain us in a uniquely Brighton fashion!
The ring master Nancy hosts The Rucus with lively introductions, a splash of comedy and a sales pitch for each act.
Expect the unexpected. From the quietude of Bhemoth, incorporating their flowing costume into this alternative juggling act to full bodied cabaret She’s B.Hind You, wearing the highest heels you will ever see balancing upside down on a chair (and not much else)!
Appreciate the courage and confidence. That includes the audience! InThisTogether invites you to participate in their collaborative human body balancing performance. It is quite beautiful to watch. The fun and sisterhood of The Greatest Show on Earth and high energy Neon Sun Roller Circus give you a glimpse into what it feels like to put yourself out there!
The finale performance from The Nose Dive Assembly brought the audience to a climax with their art, jeopardy and physicality, inside giant hoops on a floating stage!
We are entertained by a medley of acts to tempt you into the festival. There is something for everyone; come drink it in, get into the spirit, whether you want a glass of milk or a full-bodied merlot!
