And you surely haven't travel across La Clique in Leicester Square, London.

For a amusement that lone performs for 9 weeks successful the West End each year, this utterly bonkers drama cabaret is 1 of the implicit champion distractions from different dreary year.

And 1 wherever an astonishing array of chaotic performers volition virtually instrumentality your enactment away. 

Whether that's due to the fact that you've conscionable been covered successful shaving foam emitting from a precise bendy antheral who is contorting capable to shave his ain backstage parts (the past clip I went).

Based successful a monolithic Spiegeltent close successful the centre of Leicester Square's Christmas Market, it's connected each nighttime - with 2 performances connected a Saturday.  

There's a full big of what look to beryllium the world's champion circus entertainers from each implicit the satellite performing immoderate gravity defying stunts - and it seems that each nighttime is simply a antithetic enactment up.

This twelvemonth it's celebrating it's 20th year.

And there's thing for each adults - nary substance what you think you're into.

There's decease defying ladder manipulation from Danik Abishev - the 'Bad Boy of Australian circus'.

And, of course, Tara Bomb, the screaming popcorn queen.

But the La Clique website boasts a full array of varied and vivid entertainers - who person travelled the satellite wowing crowds from Vegas to Australia, Montreal to New York. 

And this clip circular there's a full big of caller faces.

To pigeonhole them nether specified straightforward descriptions is to to bash them a disservice - they are intelligibly immoderate of the world's champion circus performers with unsocial routines that volition marque you gasp, scream, laughter and consciousness each truthful somewhat terrified.

And perchance a spot sick. 

I'm not going to ruin your travel by describing the cabaret routines either - this is simply a amusement that is champion approached blind, perchance somewhat tipsy, and with a precise unfastened mind.

Watch, portion and beryllium precise merry, and person a fantastic La Clique Christmas.
