MOTORBIKES hurtling around a tiny Globe of Steel, high energy acrobatics, breathtaking aerial stunts, mighty feats of juggling, and laughs all the way.

Brazilian comic and acrobat Paulo dos Santos will be your host and he is also one half of a hilarious double act with female clown La Loka from Ukraine, who can also do wonders with hula hoops.

Walking upside down along the roof of the circus tent will be Alex Michael, while the Mongolian Warriors take high speed, high energy acrobatics to new heights.
