Performance

Wizzo’s Rip-Roaring History

BACK TO PERFORMERS
BACK TO DAILY PROGRAMME

Wizzo’s Rip-Roaring History is an old-time circus sideshow where the stars are the props and extraordinary stories. Abs ‘Wizzo’ Wisdom brings his excitement for history front and centre to you! Think Heath Robinson meets Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and throw in a generous helping of audience participation and Crystal Maze eccentricity. Colourful? Yes. Educational? Certainly. Rip-roaring? Absolutely!

Wizzo will be at the festival Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
