The Revel Puck Circus presents A Glimmer Daze Gambit The Revel Puck Circus returns to Brighton this summer with a brand new show, A Glimmer Daze Gambit, landing under the Big Top at Victoria Gardens for a two week run from Thursday 27 August to Sunday 6 September 2026. Dive into a high octane, story led contemporary circus experience packed with world class acrobatics, clowning and physical storytelling. The show is largely non verbal, welcoming for a wide range of audiences, including families and first time circus goers. A Glimmer Daze Gambit is a show about hope, arrival and community. Stella and Kit have finally arrived at their dream home, a circus. Desperate to join the troupe, they have brought everything they think they might need. Having never seen a circus before, they have had to imagine what might be of use. Through a journey of discovery they learn that to fail is to learn, and that community is forged in the mistakes. Expect a joyful parade of skills including teeterboard, aerial cradle, straps, cloud swing, bounce juggling, Icarian acrobatics and group acrobatics, plus the Revel Puck original Rola Globe, where nine performers balance together in a breath holding feat […]

Ian Shaw: When Bowie Met Joni Multi-award-winning singer, Ian Shaw, performs one of his favourite shows, fusing the words and music of two of popular music's genius giants, Joni Mitchell and the much-missed David Bowie. Traversing the mammoth back catalogue of these legendary and influential artists, this solo show draws on stories from the early seventies and our own ideals of love, hope and the endless presence of the darker truths of recent times. Shaw recorded a critically highly-praised album of Joni Mitchell (‘Drawn To All Things’, Linn Records) and has a personal connection to both, which is the core of this exciting show. This promises to be a highly charged evening of tears, laughter and simply great songwriting. "Jazz singer Ian Shaw is almost too talented for his own good...a brilliant vocal chameleon" -The Telegraph "Great jazz singers, like great comedians, are masters of timing. That Ian Shaw is a virtuoso of both disciplines, balancing stand-up and concert gigs, speaks to the breadth of his genius and to the singularity of his style as a singer" -Jazz Times (USA)
