After a year away Doc Haze and his crew of misfits were back in town at the Pavilion and for an enthusiastic audience it was well worth the wait.
Many of the faces on stage would have been familiar to a fan that has seen previous tours but there were enough new additions to keep the show fresh whilst still retaining the variety of acts that make this an evening of great entertainment.
The show is aimed at an adult audience with swearing and the odd bit of nudity (and on a couple of occasions I do mean ODD!) but the few younger members of the audience seemed to handle it well.
If anything it was the adults who were freaked out by the clowns climbing amongst the seats to say hi.
Troupe leader Doc Haze presided over acts that varied from fire-eaters, gymnasts, contortionists and clowns to sword swallowers and a smallish chap who will definitely not be fronting the next add for Henry Hoovers! (If that doesn’t mean anything to you catch the show next time round).
The pace of the show seemed faster than the last time I saw it meaning that the acts came thick and fast with some members of the crowd peering at some bits through their fingers, mainly the short chap!
I am not really into anything too ‘out there’ but tonight was pitched just right for a broad sweep of people and I am sure no-one was offended by anything they saw. It was just a great nights entertainment albeit not your average trip down the pub.
