Showzam Festival
Showzam is a ten day festival of circus, magic and new variety that runs every year in Blackpool during February, coinciding -with the school half term holidays.
This extraordinary and unique festival includes a number of high profile performers, street artists and never before seen acts, showcased throughout Blackpool’s famous landmarks and on the streets.
With a mix of ticketed and free events, venue and outdoor, family friendly and adult only shows, Showzam 2010 featured shows by the critical acclaimed aerial theatre company Ockham’s Razor, the comedic international performers Spymonkey and the all-singing, all-strumming Ukulele players, the Ukeulele Orchestra of Great Britain as well as a short residency by La Clique, providing a heady cocktail of cabaret, new burlesque, circus sideshow and contemporary variety.
The climax of the festival is the outdoor event Heat The Streets, which through artists and street theatre creates a world of light, fires, interaction and music.
Nine Lives Productions provides the production and event management support for the outdoor and indoor elements of the festival.
