Jess Love: And the Little One Said @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 14 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Combining high-level circus skills with pathos, humour and beauty, Jess Love creates a vision that is at once delicately touching, visually enchanting and heart-warmingly playful. Dark clowning, dirty acrobatics and surreal sideshow feats go hand-in-hand with slapstick, roller-skating, hula hoops, skipping and hopscotch acrobatics – phew! With crafted storytelling and awe inspiring images on a bed of roses and broken glass, it’s so sweet you’ll want to squeal!

Jul 19 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Myths remixed: the classic story of Persephone is retold with live music, aerial acrobatics, fire, dance and mime. A high impact show full of hope and sorrow, it’s Greek mythology but not as you know it as this tale of love, choice and empowerment gets a contemporary circus twist. Chivaree Circus will take you on a journey and leave you ready to embrace an eternity in Hades.

George Egg: Anarchist Cook @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 20 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

If you like food, you’ll love this…

Internationally acclaimed comedian George Egg is also a rather fanatical self-taught cook with a somewhat anarchic approach to making meals. As obsessed with culinary matters as he is with comedic ones, and finding himself dissatisfied with the quality and cost of takeaways and room-service meals while touring the stand-up comedy clubs of the world, George embarks on a project to take matters into his own surprisingly capable hands.

A surreal and absurd mix of stand-up comedy and striking innovation – in the words of Jay Rayner – “You’ll never look at a Corby trouser press in the same way again”

 

“It’s an hilarious show, with surprisingly good food.” The Times

“It is refreshing to encounter a performer who really is unique.” The Telegraph

“Absolutely glorious.” The Scotsman

Natalie Reckert: Selfie with Eggs @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 21 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

If Kraftwerk made circus it would look something like this: comedy meets electro-robotic-vogueing in an epic feat of handstand endurance!

Natalie Reckert is a German hand balancer who loves to dance to electronic beats and read Wikipedia articles about load experiments. In her highly skilled one-woman experiment, she tests the limits of the body and the stability of quite a lot of eggs. Brilliantly absurd and totally unique.

Fantastic Voyage: a Bowie Circus Cabaret @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 22 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

David Bowie loved the circus, and we love David Bowie.

Jacksons Lane pays its respects with a once-in-a-lifetime night of spectacular sound and vision that we think will blow your minds. Performers from across the globe come together to celebrate Ziggy, the Thin White Duke, and maybe even Jareth the Goblin King as they choose their favourite Bowie look and song for a night of spaceman-inspired circus that’s out of this world.

Jonathan Pie: Live! @ Jacksons Lane
Sep 6 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Jonathan Pie is a respected News reporter for a respected News broadcaster but he has a problem. He has several problems. He hates his job. He hates his colleagues. But mainly he hates the f**king News.

Join him for this live show where he hilariously reveals the truth behind recent News events both home and abroad. He’ll also be discussing his own meteoric rise to mediocrity…and one imagines he’ll be venting plenty of spleen in the process.*

*Warning: may contain some f**king strong language.

Aug 12 @ 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm

Sundial Sundays: The Popinjays & The Metatrons

Join us in pretty Waterlow Park for a summer BBQ plus a double bill of FREE music as two well-established indie acts perform live on the Tea Lawn…

Indie veterans, The Popinjays, return after a 21 year hiatus. After a critically acclaimed John Peel session, three albums on One Little Indian Records, a US College Radio hit “Vote Elvis”, and tours with They Might Be Giants, The Fatima Mansions, and the Kitchens of Distinction, The Pops called it a day in 1994. Since 2015 they have shared bills with The Darling Buds, The Wonder Stuff, and The Wedding Present. Back with their original set of 90s Indie Pop, Wendy, Polly and the drum machine are currently working on a special limited-edition, legacy release, again with OLI.

The Metatrons are an Indie band from Hitchin. Their second album, “Patterns of Chaos” has recently been featured on BBC6 Music and Sky TV.

Relax on the grass with a burger and a cold drink while you enjoy family-friendly live music as part of our ongoing Sundial Sundays season.

The Popinjays & The Metatrons performance will take place between 2.30 and 4.30pm on 12 August. All sessions are free to attend and open to everyone. See the full programme of Sundial Sunday performances here.

Sundial Sundays have been generously sponsored by the Co-op Community Fund.
