Zippos Circus – Arbroath

Zippos Circus is back with a nationwide travelling tour. Nomads features an international cast of talented circus performers guaranteed to entertain the whole family. The tour kicks off for Easter at Blackheath, London, and runs from 30 March to 29 October 2023.

The show celebrates the circuses’ nomadic way of life. For centuries, generations of artists have wandered from town to town to entertain and enthral people.

Headlining the show are the Temujin Troupe – special guests from the Mongolian Steppes. They perform hand voltige, skipping and aerial acts. Mongolia is one of the last places where a nomadic culture is the norm. Nearly half of the country’s population lives this lifestyle.

Our Nomads show also has acts returning by popular demand including the legendary motorbike Globe of Death from Brazil. There’s also fast juggling, knife throwing and whip cracking from the Czech Republic, and fearless feats of daredevil aerial artistry from UK talent Jackie. Audiences always love the high-energy acrobatics from the Kenyan Timbuktu Tumblers, and we have a thrilling Wheel of Death act from Columbia. 

Our international cast continues with a breathtakingly elegant performance on a vertical pole from Moroccan-born Ibrahim. Ludvick from the Czech Republic has a fantastic Rola Rola act, there’s nail-biting Swinging Trapeze from Spain plus Ukrainian dancers Diana and Sophia.

UK comedy star Whimmie Walker will get everyone laughing. And last, but by no means least, audiences adore the acrobatics, aerial acts and comedy of the inspirational Brazilian artist Paulo Dos Santos. Despite the challenge of standing at just over one metre tall, he always delivers a sensational display of skill and daring.

Performance times: 24 July – 7pm.  25 July – 4pm and 7pm.  26 July – 4pm.

The show complies with all COVID-19 health and safety measures in the well-ventilated big top.
