It’s circus. It’s comedy. It’s chaos. It’s Sophie’s 29th birthday party and you’re invited!
Featuring world-class circus performers from Cirque du Soleil, La Clique, The 7 Fingers, and more, this is circus and comedy disguised as the best house party of your life.
Death-defying circus and cabaret feats weaved into a nostalgic 90s house party, set to a pumping soundtrack of old faves.
Come and join the party, but remember, don’t tell Sophie!
