Big Kid Circus

sue here again... went to BKC tonight in Stockport and we were NOT disappointed it was excellent. The acts were different from last year and they were all brilliant. it was great to see that "spiderman" has now got a full ariel act together and it was amazing. My 2yr old grandson ended up hoarse and in absolute awe of his hero. What was especially memorable was i paid for a photo of my grandson and spiderman and somehow the picture was deleted of thier camera. They gave us our money back and told us that the "spiderman" couldnt do the pic again as he was doing another act and had changed costume - fair enough - however, at the end of the show as ...  Read the complete review

hi everyone... stumbled on this site and couldn't resist leaving a review. I first saw BKC last year in Stockport and took my 7yr old granddaughter along to watch. I paid £6.99 for each ticket (with 1st night voucher) once inside we chose our seats. Through no fault of BKC it had been raining for days and the ground was wet and muddy, it was cold as well. My granddaughter wanted the candy floss, burger, flashing windmill on a stick thing and I thought they were all a bit pricey we then sat down and watched the acts. We loved the lady who dressed as a butterfly swung round by her hair, my granddaughter was enthralled. The guy who did an arial act was also really good, ...  Read the complete review

We took our 3 year old son to see the big kid circus today. We were not sure whether to or not after reading some other reviews on here. But we are really glad that we did! We had a fanatastic time! Our 3 year old son adored it! We even had to recreate the show when we got home! There was a real mix of comedy with Hasan the clown - who, by the way, involves the audience! Which i found to my cost when i found myself chained to the knife thrower's board! He was very dry and funny and engaged the audience - young and old. The acrobatic acts were also outstanding! Spiderman flying through the audience was a firm favourite for our son! The ...  Read the complete review

attended the big kid circus last week in tenby. it started with a catchy little jingle about acrobats, dnacers, jugglers and fire throwers?? these never appaered in the show we saw! we endured 2 boring hours of girls in bad costumes dancing out of sequence and not much else really! it was truely horrendous and we would have left early if we had not been blocked in by cars that there was no room on the car park for. i wish i had saved my £25 and done anything else!!! lol the flooring was not very safe. just a bit of plastic that was covered in wrt mud as it had rained before they set up the tent and a bit of wet hay spread around. was not at all impressed and not a ...  Read the complete review

Glad to hear the great Circuses of the past! But nowadays you cannot compare the new Billy Smart with the old one! The newcomers are made to appease the consciences of those who killed the traditional circus. However, still today you can watch impressive shows, and most depends on the investment made to find the best acts in the world. Not easy, as Billiana Kirillov was telling me, back few years ago. The last time I saw BKC, great effort was made to offer a good show. And I loved it. I loved the solo trapeze and amazed to sea the high pole on shoulder, hair- raising act alongside more contemporary acts, such as wheel of death and silks.
Lights and live music will come, I'm sure.
