If you’re the type of person who thrives on seeing acrobats defying gravity, dragons breathing fire and loves the beautiful side of Chinese tradition, then on Wednesday 8th May there is nowhere else you should rather be than The Kings Theatre.
The Chinese state circus will proudly present their UK premiere of their new show “Yin Yang”.
Aside from the fact that audiences will witness breathtaking sketches such as the “bicycle act” in which ten talented artists will compile themselves onto one single bike, they are also invited into a world of exhilarating hoop divers, unbelievably agile contortionists and an action-packed programme that will keep even the bravest of audience members on the very edge of their seats!
The title of the show “Yin Yang” means the interaction of two energies in a dynamic system of balance.
It’s safe to say that from the variety of things going on during that delightful Wednesday night that it won’t just be the members of the circus that will be feeling energised.
From the amount of danger and high-risk activities involved in this show, one can only imagine the amount of adrenaline that will be cascading through those theatre doors once the show has ended.
For a circus that has travelled all over the United Kingdom, it is definitely an honour for them to have landed in Southsea’s very own Kings Theatre.
Who knows what the night will bring but if the standard of captivating acts is anything to go by, then it is sure to be one roller-coaster of an experience. This will be a night that you won’t want to miss out on!

The Carson and Barnes Circus will be presented as "The World's Biggest Big Top Show" at 4:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Elmer Thomas Park.
The two circus events will include special appearances from Katy the Pygmy Hippo and Alex the Clown, who is portrayed by Alex Acero from Colombia, a third-generation performer in his family,
starting at the age of 8.
Franchesca Cavallini will be performing the song "I Am The Circus" at both showings. That song was written and produced a year ago by Jacque Hollander especially for Cavallini, who is also also a trapeze artist.
Other highlights will include a petting zoo, elephant rides, camel rides and pony rides.
Advance tickets $12 for adults and $6 for children ages 2-11 are available at the west entrance of McMahon Memorial Auditorium, 801 NW Ferris, during regular box office hours, 10 a.m. to noon and 1-4:30 p.m. weekdays.

CARSON & BARNES--POPPA-D
“Poppa D Clown” brings slapstick to Great Bend children ahead of Carson & Barnes Circus

With the Carson & Barnes Circus coming to Great Bend in just a few weeks, Poppa D Clown rode into Great Bend on Wednesday with his magic box full of humorous tricks and a comedy routine that kept area children bursting with anticipation and laughter. Wednesday’s entertainment provided children a glimpse of what they will see under the Big Top when the Carson & Barnes Circus comes to town on May 16 at the Great Bend Expo Grounds.
Poppa D provided five half-hour, interactive performances to elementary school groups in Great Bend throughout the day. He carried out his schtick to dozens of excited children at Riley, Jefferson and Lincoln Elementary Schools, along with two groups at Helping Hands Preschool. At each stop he worked the children into a collective laughing frenzy.
“I try to get them wound up so the teachers have to deal with them the rest of the day,” quipped Poppa D. “Having been a school teacher for many years, I know what that’s like.”
When he’s not slinging slapstick as Poppa D, he is Doug Munsell, retired physical education teacher from Liberal. Munsell taught elementary school children in Liberal for 21 years before he retired in 2007 and actually ran away with the circus for several years.
Since 2010, he’s continued working with Carson & Barnes on a part-time basis, whenever called upon for regional shows.
He first sidelined as a clown in 1960 and the bug bit him hard. He has performed extensively in southwest Kansas over the years, appearing at everything from birthday parties to rodeos. In 1972, he became a guest-clown to an area Carson & Barnes Circus and he continued in that role for 35 years, until he joined the show full-time.
“People tell me I’m a clown all the time,” said Munsell, “it doesn’t matter how I’m dressed. So I feel like I’m a clown, no matter where I go or what I do.”
Munsell, who serves as a district commissioner for Boys Scouts of America, said he will continue clowning around “as long as it’s fun, and it will always be fun,” he said.

The Great Y Circus is in full swing.
The theme this year is CircuSafari, and the performances are meant to be a journey through the circus jungle.
"Each act is going to be portraying an animal or jungle tribes throughout the show, from the bugs on the floor to the birds in the trees," said Tanner Greenhalgh, in his first year as circus director.
The family friendly show continues for three weekends, and tickets are available in the YMCA lobby or at the circus door.
