00:00We are bringing our Cirque de Hilaria show to South Shields. It's the first time we've ever been here and we can't wait. Come in.
00:07We've brought a circus tent as well. Yes. I'd like to add.
00:09Yeah, and it's very intense. Intense! It's because we're in a tent.
00:14He's our dad. We're brothers and that's our dad.
00:16And I'm a bit decile. Will you repeat that again for me?
00:19What's it like to be in South... What's it like to be in South Shields?
00:23It's very nice to be in South Shields.
00:24He's going to be back in the home soon. I'm sorry about this.
00:26South Shields. We're in South Shields now.
00:28We're in South Shields now. We're in South Shields, by the way.
00:32How many weeks are we here?
00:34We're here in 11 days. We're up from the 22nd until the 2nd of August.
00:38The 22nd until the 2nd of August here in South Shields.
00:42Gypsy's green. Right by the sea.
00:44We've got lots of speciality acts from all over the world.
00:46We've got jugglers, trapeas.
00:48Bendy lady. Bendy lady, she bends.
00:50She's a contortionist.
00:52We were meant to have another contortionist, but unfortunately he had a heart attack and he died in his own arms.
00:58And we've got all our big slapstick routines that we do.
01:01Anyone that's fans of ours from the pantomime and have seen us before will know that it's complete and bonkers.
01:07That's what the show's called.
01:08Well, it is bonkers.
01:09And it's completely bonkers.
01:10For mums, dads, kids, granny's, granddad's, it's two hours of fantastic family fun for the school holidays.
01:16So we're going to reenact Houdini's milk churn escape, where you're putting a milk churn filled with water and you've got to escape.
01:23But it's gallons of water, isn't it, Mick?
01:24We're going to use milk.
01:25We're going to use milk.
01:26But it's too expensive.
01:27Too expensive.
01:28And Mick likes milk and he'll probably drink it all.
01:30So we're going to use, obviously, water, but with a potential host pipe band, we're going to change it for our knife churn routine, which went wrong a good few years ago now.
01:41And the girl, unfortunately, no, she's fine, she's fine.
01:48But she fell off the board.
01:49And we've not done it since.
01:50So this is the first time we're going to bring the routine back for here.
01:54Here we go.
01:55Nice.
01:56Number one.
02:00It's been a while.
02:01Hup.
02:03Ah!
02:04That couldn't kill me.
02:07Accident.
02:09If it's 30, you don't succeed.
02:10Try, try again.
02:12Here we go.
02:14Ah!
02:15Ah!
02:16It's a rubber, it's a rubber.
02:18Here we go.
02:19Here we go.
02:19That's not funny.
02:20Come on, I'm a little more.
02:22Are you ready, Mick?
02:24Are you ready?
02:25Here we go.
02:28Hup.
02:28Ah!
02:30Now for the most dangerous trick.
02:36The trick that went wrong.
02:37The revolving knife-throwing board.
02:42Here we go.
02:43Also blindfolded.
02:45Dad, stand against the board.
02:46No, no, no, no, no.
02:47That's, I'm not getting against that board.
02:49Mick, against the board.
02:50Mick.
02:51Mick.
02:53Mick.
02:54Here we go.
02:55Wh-wh-wh-wh...
02:56Listen, if you want to see this trick, you're going to have to come and see the show.
