Circo Ridiculoso's Three Little Pigs
directed by Bob Pearce
An innovative re-telling of the classic Three Little Pigs
- Danny has been delivered a story telling kit in a crate. All the
props for the story are contained within ... or are they? Danny has
to try against the odds to enact the story, without making a pig’s
ear of it. He will recount the curly tale with lots of huff, puff
and you’ll be blown away by his inimitable and hilarious physical
comedy, circus skills and sheer pig- headedness.

Circo Ridiculoso's 'Frankenstein for Kids'
directed by Bob Pearce
Touring Autumn 2021
When Igor, Dr Frankenstein’s assistant, attempts to assemble a beautiful
dancer made from balloons, it all goes terribly wrong. Following a
plan is not as easy as it looks.
Dr Frankenstein is furious - his lifetime dream of winning the highly-coveted
North Southby Dance Competition Cup is fading fast and he is ready
to burst!
A marvellous monster is created and comes alive! Can Igor teach the
friendly monster to dance in time? Will Dr Frankenstein be triumphant
and win the cup?
In Circo Ridiculoso style a story is adapted and mutated from horror to ha ha hah, from the dark and spooky to the light and airy. So why not step into the quirky tale of “Frankenstein For Kids”, a hilarious fusion of silliness, unscientific storytelling and monstrous balloon puppetry.
Frankenstein For Kids is Circo Ridiculoso’s fourth family show and previous shows have had wonderful reviews from kids, parents and the press alike.
A trailer for the show can be found here.
