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!
