"I wish I had seen Pigeon and Plum's Vaudeville Circus when I was a
child. I would have packed up my gramophone and run away from home to
join them."
DUKE SPECIAL
aka Peter Wilson
Ladies and Gentlemen! It's time. Dawn your respective Victorian
evening wear, your favorite feather boa's, and your top hat and
tails, for maestros Pigeon and Plum will be rolling their Vaudeville
Carnivale of pleasure wonder and curiousites into your town sooner
than you think... so keep your windows agar at night so you might
be the first to hear the distant creaking sound of the Pigeon & Plum
wagons as their Carnival of Varieties weaves its way into an empty
venue in your quiet unassuming, little concrete metropolis...
Since the 2005 SELL OUT DEBUT show "PIGEON & PLUM'S
Vaudeville - Circus Extravaganza!!" and was without a doubt the
runaway success story of the 2005 Belfast International Arts
Festival at Queens. Paul Currie (aka SIRKUSONFOOT productions)
has been performing and producing Pigeon and Plum's Shows
throughout Belfast with the help of allot of very talented and
twisted performers.
With the various incarnations of Pigeon & Plum's events such as
Victorian Music Hall, Vaudeville-Circus Extravaganza, Old Time
Profanity Show and (The Halloween theme) Macab-aret,
SIRKUSONFOOT productions has made it its passion to transport
venues and their audiences back in time to the seedy underbelly of
Victorian night life, by transforming various Bars, Clubs and Venues
of all sizes into an elegant Victorian Music Hall of the 1800's...
towering palm trees, baskets in bloom, dazzling golden footlights,
red lush's velvet curtains, swinging trapeze and performers all
dressed in decadent Victorian costume, who will meet and greet the
patrons as well as entertain them throughout the entire length of a
Pigeon & Plum's Show, as they step into this wondrous bygone era.
Pigeon & Plum's boasts the largest public Cabarets ever produced in
the UK with over 17 performers and artists treading the boards in
one night. This is to authenticate the large variety billings that
featured in the Victorian Music Halls of old.
Pigeon and Plum's always keeps patrons glued to their seats with
acts ranging from Front of House meet and greet Stilt Walkers,
Traditional Carnival Barkers and Popcorn Sellers to comedians,
acrobats, escapologists, trapeze artists and magicians to name but
a few. Acts from all over the globe, from Germany, Amsterdam,
Sweden to the USA (including acts that have performed with
Ringling Brother's & Barnum and Bailey Circus) have all performed
in previous Pigeon & Plum events. But Pigeon & Plum's and
SIRKUSONFOOT is most proud of its core team of local Northern
Irish and Irish performers from the world of street performance,
circus, dance and theatre who make Pigeon & Plum's a spectacular
evening of lavish side splitting and mouth gapping entertainment
not to be missed.
