Circus of Horrors 2016 Tour
They say there are only two certain things in life – death and taxes. But we would like to argue that there is one more – that the Circus of Horrors will be on tour somewhere near you each year! Looking at the scheduled itinerary, the Circus rolls up and down the country, bringing their mix of rock and roll horror to the masses, and like lambs to the slaughter, we line up teach year to be shocked, amazed and appalled!
Despite a new “storyline” each year, the main core of the show remains pretty much unchanged. The incomparable Dr Haze oversees a menagerie of freaks, show girls, circus acts and gore. The action comes thick and fast and favourites such as Captain Dan and his Henry Hoover sit alongside more circus style performances such as tumblers and aerial artists. All accompanied by a rock soundtrack, performed live by the Circus of Horrors band.
Some of the highlights of this current tour include a jaw dropping balancing act that had most of the audience holding their breath, an array of gruesome and gory torture tricks, and several aerial performers who brought an element of beauty to the proceedings.
We felt that this was one of the better line ups of the show for several years and really enjoyed the whole presentation from beginning to end. We saw the show just several days after David Bowie's sudden death and the impromptu finale encore was both a touching tribute and a testament to the fact that the band can turn their hand to any tune.
Of course the whole show is presented with Dr Haze’s tongue firmly in his cheek. Gratuitous female nudity? Yup! Some scenes of full frontal (and rear) male nudity? You betcha! Profanity and rude scenarios? Of course!. But that's what makes the show so much fun. If you have never seen them before then check out a date on their tour - you won’t regret it!
