Circus Vegas rolling into town

A FLEET of American trucks will be rolling into Stratford next week as a taste of Vegas heads to the East End.

Circus Vegas, American Circus ® is promising a spectacular all-action family show while the adjoining winter funfair will provide a fun day out for everyone.

With everything from Elvis and a troop of Vegas-style dancers, to the terrifying Wheel of Death and one of the fastest jugglers in Europe.

The show will be accompanied by all the thrills and spills of a winter funfair with Waltzers, Miami, Gallopers and Dodgems.

Show Director John Courtney is looking forward to spending the holidays in East London and is promising punters a fantastic family event.

He said: “We have acts from all over the globe who will be coming together with the winter theme park for this spectacular occasion.

“It’s definitely going to be a real extravaganza. Duo Marin and their extreme Wheel of Death provide astonishing aerial skills and will really have you gripping your seat.

“Elaine Courtney creates the perfect blend of strength, skill and fearlessness when she flies high across our big top. Gordon Marquez is one of the fastest jugglers in Europe and The Nutty Professor and his trampoline antics introduce an element of comedy alongside our mischievous clowns Dexter and Blakey. But to top it all off we have Captain Vegas, the Human Cannonball, who will be shot into the air at speeds of 70MPH!”

The two-hour circus show combines jaw-dropping feats to laughter and suspense, utilising the very latest in state-of-the-art lighting.

John added: “For those fed-up of being stuck in the house over the holidays, this is the perfect place for the full family to spend an enjoyable day or evening.”

The Event starts on Thursday December 18, at the International Quarter opposite Westfield Shopping Centre and runs until Sunday January 4, taking a break only on Christmas Day.
