Cirque Berserk! Brings 30-Strong Acrobat Troupe and Globe of Death to Garrick Theatre

Cirque Berserk! has taken up residence at the Garrick Theatre for a run lasting from 21 to 31 October 2026, making it one of the more striking options for London families during the October half-term school break. The show brings together an international troupe of more than 30 acrobats, aerialists and stunt performers in a production that mixes contemporary cirque-style artistry with adrenaline-fuelled action. Among the standout set pieces is the motorcycle Globe of Death, a signature stunt that gives the show much of its edge. The production is billed as suitable for all ages, positioning it as a natural choice for parents looking for large-scale half-term entertainment. The Garrick Theatre provides a traditional West End setting for what is otherwise an unconventional circus format — one designed to feel more theatrical than a traditional big-top show. With October half term falling around the end of the month and Halloween also approaching, the Cirque Berserk! run sits at the centre of what is a busy weekend for live events across the capital, alongside MCM Comic Con at ExCeL, a new free Freddie Mercury costume trail at the V&A, and the London Literature Festival at the Southbank Centre.
