Hold on to your hats: one of the UK’s biggest and boldest theatre/circus spectaculars, Cirque Berserk!, will be returning to the West End for a limited two-week engagement at London’s Peacock Theatre next February.
Combining beautiful contemporary circus artistry with hair-raising, death-defying stunts, all designed specially for staging in a proscenium arch theatre, Cirque Berserk! is set to enthral thrill-seeking audiences in London’s Theatreland once more.
Next year’s Cirque Berserk! will see the return of its most famous – and most dangerous – act, the legendary ‘Globe of Death’, in which four motorcyclists defy gravity and risk life and limb traversing the inside of a spherical steel cage at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour, putting their split-second reactions to the ultimate test.

They will be joined by a magnificent company of over 30 jugglers, acrobats, aerialists, dancers, drummers and daredevil stuntmen from all corners of the globe in a jaw-dropping display of talent after talent.
Cirque Berserk! will play at the Peacock Theatre from 5 February to 17 February 2018, prior to embarking on a 40-week UK tour.
Official London Theatre previously described the show as “circus extravaganza easy to watch, even easier to enjoy, and impossible to tear your eyes from”.
