Happy new year everyone! We have so much planned for 2022 and to kick it all off we invite everyone to come join the Yorkshire Circus community for a night of drinks, music and performance.
Throughout the night you will be treated to stunning routines from all kinds of circus fun, including:
A comedy spoken word show about gender, the media and not fitting any of the boxes, full of explosive movement, original songs and kickass video projection. Edalia Day is a banjo wielding, poetry slam winning, trans warrior, taking on the world one troll at a time.
The show Too Pretty To Punch is a hilarious and uplifting journey through what it means to be trans in 21st century Britain. It reminds all of us (regardless of who we are) of the power of celebrating our existence.
Three friends are getting ready for a night out. The music is intoxicating, they start to dance. It’s so good, they might stay a little longer…
Inspired by classic sitcoms of the 90s & 00s, DONUTS follows a group of friends as their friendship evolves over time.
Choreographed by Jamaal Burkmar and featuring music from Jameszoo, DONUTS is a celebration of how music brings people together, no matter what life throws at them. Bursting with precision and soul, it is a hypnotic and playful ‘groove along’ to jazz and funk.
It’s been forty-five years since Jinkx Monsoon and Major Scales have set foot on stage together. The long-endured cabaret duo have long since gone their separate ways; Jinkx becoming a faded TV movie starlet, and Major fading into musical obscurity— each of them clinging onto what scraps of fame they still have. Now, after decades of anticipation, the two of them have come together for one final reunion upon the stage. They’re together again, again!
One of the UK’s premier live concert experiences, The Story of Guitar Heroes has garnered critical acclaim both at home and abroad for its incredible homage to some of the most influential and iconic guitarists from the past 50 years of popular music.
Featuring talented world-class musicians, the show includes classic hits from guitar legends Jimmy Page, Hank Marvin, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Brian May, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Van Halen, Slash and many more!
Along with Mark Knopfler, John was a founder member of the legendary band, who, during their time together, sold over 120 million albums.
It’s the world’s biggest pop show. Eurovision has provided a platform for ABBA, Celine Dion, Julio Iglesias and Olivia Newton-John as well as Britain’s Bucks Fizz, Bonnie Tyler, Cliff Richard and more. Europhoria brings together the biggest hits from the past 65 years. This jukebox musical celebrates the biggest hits, from Katrina & The Waves to Johnny Logan, via Conchita and TikTok sensation Duncan Lawrence. Pour yourself a prosecco, lace up your dancing shoes and get ready to party to the glitz and glamour of Europhoria.
