The Black Blues Brothers

For one last time at the Fringe, The Black Blues Brothers will dazzle audiences with their electrifying circus show. Go see them in a truly unforgettable performance.

Effortlessly contagious and mischievously funny

Even before the show starts, the atmosphere in the room is bustling with anticipation. The performance begins in a nightclub, where a man dressed as a mixologist steps onto the stage and starts organising the bar. Soon, two waiters join him on stage. One of the waiters begins playing with a suit and puts on a hat, much to the mixologist’s displeasure. He scolds the waiter and instructs him to get back to work. However, this waiter has dreams and persists in his pursuit to dance rather than work. The show highlights the balance between working hard and playing hard, serving as a reminder to follow one's passion regardless of the circumstances.

The show is an homage to the 1980 film The Blues Brothers, but you don’t need to know anything about the film to enjoy this performance. To the sound of R’n’B, the five members will have you clapping with delight throughout. They will use the bar’s furniture as props to perform wow-worthy acrobatics, lifts, pyramids, and more. Tumbling from one end of the stage to the other will leave you gasping in awe. Physical theatre adds laughter and joy with fun skits that allow audiences to get to know each member’s personality.

The Black Blues Brothers are effortlessly contagious and mischievously funny. Their confidence and ease onstage are a testament to their experience as seasoned performers. Don’t miss the chance to witness these legends before their last curtain call; they will be sorely missed.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
