Curated by Lucy Loves Circus
Doffing our cap to the traditions of vaudeville and the origins of circus and cabaret, acclaimed circus blogger Lu Cyrcus curates this very special night, led by Cirque du Soleil’s lead clown Sean Kempton. New and old combine in this evening of contemporary varieté, featuring everything from pole dancing to aerial rope and trapeze, where burlesque meets juggling kettle bells, with a dash of musical saw thrown in for good measure.
A night to tease, whisper and gasp – Ssshhh!

Daisy is doing her best to keep her chin up and her head down – but as the first anniversary of her mum’s death approaches she begins to realise grief isnʼt something she can put aside indefinitely, and whether she’s willing to admit it or not, things aren’t fine.
From the silly to the sublime to the scary to the ridiculous, Daisy wrestles (sometimes literally) with her grief – Ian, a 6-foot invisible bald guy with a lot of luggage – eventually discovering that by letting him into her world she is able to reconnect with the memory of her mother.
Combining physical comedy with striking aerial acrobatics and an original, constantly moving aerial set, the debut live show from She Said Jump draws on theatre clown, circus and puppetry to tackle the themes of grief and bereavement with a light and playful touch.
Suitable for ages 8+
