Cirque de Soleil (NEC Birmingham)


Oddly staged at one (rather small) end of the NEC, and extremely warm, this was an event like nothing else we had ever seen. For me the clowns stole the show (and it gives me no pleasure to praise clowns), but there was plenty of amazing sights to be seen, especially the trampolinists. Whether it was worth the ticket price is debatable, but I suppose there's lots of performers to pay, the staging costs must be quite high and keeping the audience size down did afford a better view than might have otherwise been the case. Not something I would rush to do again, but certainly an interesting experience.
