This summer, Dublin loves the circus! Earlier in the month, Temple Bar hosted their annual circus festival. This Saturday, 1 August, Wolfe Tone Park will host yet another circus themed event. Thought it looks to be a bit smaller than it’s south-of-the-river counterpart, it no doubt will be a good time. The Urban Circus will start up at 12 noon and end at 7 in the evening, with free performances and juggling workshops. (Hey, we’re in a recession. You should at least consider picking up some new skills!)

A host of wonderful entertaining acts are scheduled to perform including: Northern Ireland’s wacky Barren Carousel Aerial Troupe who will amaze you with their bandwagon of circus antics and death defying aerial feats, the highly original, funny and energetic show ‘Yodel’ where contemporary circus meets traditional alpine culture in a splendid display of stupidity performed by Colm O’Grady will charm audiences of all ages. Renowned performer Johnny D’Juggler will M.C. the event whilst juggling and performing and The Other Brothers will offer a unique brand of comedy in the form of escapology, magic and unbelievable stunts!
