SOMEONE with a lot of bottle is being sought for an outrageous show.

A 'pickled person' is required for the Circus of Horrors, which comes to the Electric Palace in Bridport on August 16.

Anyone thinking of auditioning will have to fit into a bottle measuring only 2' tall & 18'' in diameter, they must be over 18 years old, not suffer from claustrophobia and be able to squeeze into tight spaces.

The lucky winner will also be required to join the show for a performance at the Lights, Andover, on August 17 and could go on to tour with the infamous cult show on its forthcoming Festival of Fear tour.

Annually the Circus of Horrors plays more than 100 UK theatres and this tour has expanded to take in festivals throughout the world including The Fuji Rock Festival in Japan (twice), the Wacken Festival in Germany, Download (twice) plus shows in Chile, Uruguay, Holland, Belgium, Argentina, France, Italy, Ireland, Finland, Hong Kong and Moscow where it became the 1st UK Circus ever to perform in Russia. The show also played an astounding 10 nights at London's O2.

Taking the Circus of Horrors to Russia wasn't the first time it has created history, it became the only circus ever to reach the finals of Britain’s Got Talent and the first circus to perform in London's West End for over 100 years.

The Circus Of Horrors’ appearances on various subsequent TV shows have turned what started as a cult show into a household name – taking the extreme to the mainstream.
