Fringe Review: Blizzard ****

Canadian troupe, Flip Fabrique, make circus ultra cool in this stunning, captivating show which unfolds gently over 65 minutes.

Blizzard **** (Assembly Hall) 4:25 pm, until August 26
The programme lists this show under ‘circus’ which conjures up images of clowns, a ringmaster and primary colours galore.
It’s the exact opposite.
Canadian troupe, Flip Fabrique, make circus ultra cool in this stunning, captivating show which unfolds gently over 65 minutes.
It’s as mesmerising as anything you will ever see in a big top, and will delight audiences of all ages.
Blizzard paints a compelling picture of the bleak midwinter.
They weave traditional circus tricks using roller-skates, a giant trampoline and even a snowball fight around a delightful story where the grace and artistry of acrobatic performers who climb as high as the roof of the venue have you on the edge of your seat.
Add in a magnificent, unique live soundtrack, and you are drawn into this show with every passing minute.
