Circus Quirkus - Can I hang from the ring too?




Circus Quirkus was the most fun and the first real circus I have ever been to. There are no animals, just lots of acrobats, a clown and a ninja chef (Bruno - I loved Bruno!).


We got free tickets from School but they were from Police Citizen's Youth Clubs, who fundraised for the event and gave the tickets to families that couldn't afford to buy them.


There were three acrobats (they were stunning!). There were two gypsys and one disco girl. There was this really tall man with fuzzy hair and he did the disco dance with the disco girl. He lay on his back and put her on his feet and tumbled her on her bum in the air - it was really clever and very dangerous. He didn't drop her.


There were two girls on the ring, really high up, with these long pieces of material. They did all sorts of tricks and were really good. I wanted to be up there too.


There was this clown and he was funny! He got people up out of the audience and one of the girls, she was squeezing the horn and the bottom went flying and the clown told her off and got angry. It was really funny. He kept telling off the three volunteers for not doing it properly and it was so funny.


My family went with me - Elise, Emily, Adonijah and my Dad and Mum. We drove in with Dad and then we caught the train home cause Dad had to go out. I played with my mobile all the way home on the train. My little brother was so excited because he hadn't been on a train before.


I think Circus Quirkus was just amazing. If you get the chance to go and see them, it's really good.
