The Tiny Top

Overview

I for one am sick of the pristine, elegant, squeaky-clean image of the circus these days. Cirque du yawne if you ask me. Where did the real performers go? In the olden days skills had to be mutated at birth, never learnt. Ogling was encouraged and the grotesque was some 'thing' in a jar. Midgets and strong-men would together run wild and free. Well, I am here to proclaim "roll up, roll up!" to the Tiny Top and enjoy all that was wholesome in ye olde circus; the bearded lady has been granted one last song.

To achieve this amazing fete, Legs on the Wall have pulled in the most talented directors and designers from NIDA to recapture the true spirit of the circus. The Tiny Top includes not only a 'big' top of acts, but a side alley of shows including a beat box artist, a rodeo girl, acrobatic gypsies, an electric man, a psychic and a flamenco lover, while also bringing back the value of those useless gold coins sitting in your pocket. Entry is free; wander the sideshows and just pay a token for whatever you fancy.

Finally, throw down a potent elixir at the bar and never wash your eyes again, this is a show you won't want to miss.
