Urban Circus comes to Dublin

Roll Up, Roll Up the Urban Circus is coming to Dublin!

As part of the Dublin City Council Summer in Dublin programme of events, the Urban Circus is coming to Dublin on Saturday 1 August next. The Circus will take place in Wolfe Tone Park, Jervis Street, Dublin 1 from 12.00 til 19.00.

There will be a host of entertaining acts and walkabout performers including:

Northern Ireland’s wacky Barren Carousel Aerial Troupe who will amaze you with their bandwagon of circus antics and death defying aerial feats. The highly original, funny and energetic show ‘Yodel’ where contemporary circus meets traditional alpine culture in a splendid display of stupidity performed by Colm O’Grady will charm audiences of all ages. Renowned performer Johnny D’Juggler will M.C. the event whilst juggling and performing and The Other Brothers will offer a unique brand of comedy in the form of escapology, magic and unbelievable stunts!

As well as getting to watch all of these wonderful acts, the Urban Circus gives you a chance to join the circus. Only for one day but it looks like huge fun! You have the chance to join in one of the workshops that day where you could learn to juggle, stilt walk and clown around like a real clown!

In keeping with the circus tradition market stalls, and food stalls of all descriptions will also be in Wolfe Tone Park for the day so you can take the opportunity to dine alfresco (weather permitting!)
