The family have toured the country with Cirque Du Hilarious for the past 16 years, but say this year is extra special as it marks 250 years since circus was created. The unique show will feature two hours of slapstick, international circus speciality acts, magic tricks and their famous tongue-in-cheek humour.

Expect plenty of laughs, custard pies and buckets of water, with fun for all the family as the show runs at Beaconsfield, Tynemouth until Sunday September 2.
