Circus Calamitous

The Greatest Show On Earth (ish).The ‘World’s Greatest Showman’ (his words) Rex Bartholomew brings his internationally-renowned award-winning world-famous circus to the grandest of venues.

Except that he doesn’t, because a clerical error means the circus performers have gone to the wrong address and are 100 miles away.The only people left in the company are Rex himself and his put-upon stagehand Darren ... so the two of them will have to put on the show themselves! Rex and Darren need to do all the juggling, fire-eating, lion-taming, bullet-catching, the lot.There’s mishaps, squirting water, custard pies, audience participation and a cameo from the only member of the circus troupe that remained on site ...

Leslie the Lion.

Drawing on traditions of circus, pantomime and classic comedy, it’s a circus that goes very wrong.Written by BAFTA nominated TV Comedy writer Justin Sbresni and Stewart Wright.
