Giffords Circus for 2011…

Culture Vulture — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 15:07:59 +0000

Giffords Circus (a bit of a favourite of ours) is back for 2011 with a new show based on War and Peace. We’re intrigued by the reference to the appearance of a tumbling pigeon on the poster, but the charm of this traditional country circus is in the basic ‘horses and humans’ approach. More details here.

Three Bonzos and a Piano

Remember the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band? Check out Three Bonzos and a Piano.

“The undisputed heavyweight champions of ‘comedy pop” (Robert Spellman, Daily Express)

Appearing at Cheltenham’s Bacon Theatre on 7^th May, the show features diabolical mayhem from the largest number of Bonzos still playing together anywhere on the surface of the earth. Born in a distant art school past somewhere in the sixties, Three Bonzos And A Piano unleash their Bonzo Dog classics with energetic zip and palaver. Ali Baba’s Camel, Hunting Tigers Out In India, Big Shot, Trouser Press, The Sheik of Araby, Monster Mash, Can Blue Men Sing The Whites?, The Head Ballet and many, many more – including some great new numbers.

Robots, smoke, unsuitable medical technology, ancient theatrical props, the kitchen sink and the audience (you get to join-in!) all combine to re-create the atmosphere of those formative years of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band.

Book your tickets at the Bacon Theatre.
