THE legendary Circus of Horrors is returning to Warrington’s Parr Hall tomorrow (Wednesday) with a jaw-dropping show that is brimming with girl power.
Voodoo Vaudevil is the latest show to come from the phenomenal circus – and this time it’s returning with a difference.
Dok Haze, the undead ringmaster and creator of the show, said: “This year we’re giving a bit of a nod to the power of women. All the really dangerous stuff is being performed by women: all the aerial work, the knife work and the crossbow.
“We’re excited because this time we’ve got a female knife thrower – which is something that just doesn’t really happen. It’s always a guy throwing around a girl, but this is a husband and wife duo 
who are doing it the other way round. With it being 100 years since women first won the vote, it’s a great year for us to be able to do that.”
The show also celebrates the 250th birthday of the circus.
This great art form began life back in 18th-century London, when showman and skilled equestrian Philip Astley created what is recognised today as the world’s very first circus.
Filling a 42-foot ring with the very best acrobats, jugglers and riders the city had to offer, Astley’s pioneering vision gave way to an astounding form of entertainment that very quickly began to enchant people right across the globe.
Fast forward 250 years, and the circus is now a worldwide craze that has not only survived, but adapted, grown and transformed over two-and-a-half centuries into a show-stopping phenomenon.
In its 23rd year, The Circus of Horrors is performing better than ever
before, with venues across the UK selling out and rave reviews.
The performance starts at 7.30pm and tickets are on sale now at www.pyramidparrhall.com or by calling Box Office on 01925 442345. Use the promotional code GORY at the checkout for two for one tickets.
