Circus Open Training

We are a group of performers and circus enthusiasts who meet regularly to practice and share our skills in like-minded company. We run weekly skill-shares on Tuesdays 6pm-9pm at Open Source Arts, Leeds, focusing on learning new skills together in supportive company.

Vittorio Angelone: you can't Say Nothing any more

Vittorio Angelone has always denied any involvement in stand-up comedy or stand-up-comedy-related activities.

Despite this, after two completely sold-out tours in 2023 and 2024 - with over 100 packed-out shows - he's heading back on the road with a brand-new show.

One of the fastest-rising names in comedy, Vittorio has built a loyal and attractive following with stand-up clips and podcasts racking up millions of views. He co-hosts Mike & Vittorio's Guide to Parenting with fellow comedian Mike Rice, and is a co-creator of Fin vs The Internet.

Damien Lewis: SAS Who Dares Wins

Step into the hidden world of the SAS with Damien Lewis - award-winning war reporter and best-selling author - as he brings to the stage the secret history of the world’s most legendary special forces unit.

From their daring birth in World War Two to high-stakes modern-day operations, this gripping live show reveals real-life stories of heroism, sacrifice, and strategy. Lewis shares untold tales of sabotage missions, undercover rescues, and extraordinary acts of courage, all drawn from years of frontline reporting and exclusive access to classified sources.

AcroYoga

AcroYoga is a dynamic partner practice that blends the wisdom of yoga, the dynamic power of acrobatics, and the loving kindness of healing arts. These three lineages form the foundation of a partner practice that cultivates trust, playfulness, and community.

This session is primarily a jam session, where you can practice and play together.

For beginners there will also be some time at the start of this session where a couple of people will work with beginners to help for the first hour or so.

Out of the Box

Out of the Box is a family-friendly circus comedy show, which sees an unlikely character and his box bring audiences together through joyful awe, never knowing what to expect next.

With every opening of the box comes new trick shots, mini acts, and hilarious opportunities for participation – but don’t worry – Darryl only ever wants you to leave the stage feeling like the star of the show (there’s no ridicule here!).

Holmes and Watson: The Curious Case of the Masqued Magician

A brand-new Holmes and Watson magic show!

It’s 1906. The Golden Age of Magic.

When the Masqued Magician disappears mid-performance, completely, magically and seemingly forever, Sherlock Holmes - with Watson in tow - plunges into a secret world of Edwardian magic to solve the mystery of the missing magician.

A Holmes and Watson adventure for all the family filled with mayhem, mirth, mystery and… magic.

Fladam presents... Green Fingers

It’s Green Fingers’ first day at school, and so far nobody has spotted his bright green hands. But then… GOO! GUNK! GLOOP! What a mess! Why are they suddenly misbehaving? It doesn’t help that heinous headmaster Mr Marigold despises anything dirty… but is something magical going on? Maybe the answers can be found in the mysterious school garden?
