The Black Blues Brothers are back- and they’re bringing a brand-new show packed with jaw-dropping stunts and an iconic rock’n’roll soundtrack to McEwan Hall! This family-friendly extravaganza transforms a smoky train station into the stage for a fast-paced, acrobatic spectacle. Expect gravity-defying flips, human pyramids, flying somersaults, and dazzling dance moves set to hits by Elvis Presley, Glenn Miller, Aretha Franklin and more. Having wowed over 50,000 Fringe fans and taken the stage at the Royal Variety Show and the Moulin Rouge, this feel-good show is one you won’t want to miss!  

Get in, losers. This is award-winning circus, comedy and chaos disguised as a house party, featuring world-leading performers from Cirque du Soleil, La Clique, The 7 Fingers and more. Sophie’s Surprise 29th is stumbling back to Circus Hub after a smash-hit season in 2024. Expect Twilight fan fiction, death-defying circus feats and a pumping soundtrack at the craziest party of your life. Get your Walkmans, scrunchies and halter tops ready, and remember... don’t tell Sophie. 

Nancy, new to town and catastrophically behind schedule, is too busy blasting Celine Dion to notice her guests are due to arrive… any minute now! Played by acclaimed acrobatic clown Arielle Lauzon, Nancy scrambles to pull off the perfect party with the assistance of her wildly talented (yet largely unhelpful) friends, and the pressure is on for everything to be perfect! What follows is a riot of high heels on treadmills, human-sized balloons, extravagant costume changes, and astonishing physical feats - all soundtracked by the spirit of a certain legendary French-Canadian diva. With a cast of all elite female and non-binary performers, The Ruckus is a fierce, funny, glitter-soaked explosion of skill.    

In Nose Dive Assembly we meet Pierrot, the distracted mistress of ceremonies, who is meant to be running the show – but she can’t focus. The circus swirls around her, yet something’s holding her back. While the troupe take to the skies, she’s stuck on the ground. She yearns to fly. Featuring a range of large-scale contemporary circus disciplines including teeterboard, highwire and the Wheel of Death – a huge rotating apparatus described as 'hypnotic to watch... when momentum builds, it’s as if the person reaching the summit has a moment of zero gravity' (Guardian).
