Description
Sophie is turning 29 and we’re celebrating. Imagine if The Spice Girls never broke up, Cirque du Soleil had sunstroke and No. 10 had actually known how to throw a party. This interactive circus and cabaret show is stumbling into Circus Hub with its Fringe debut, featuring world-leading performers from Cirque du Soleil, Britain's Got Talent, Gogglebox and more. Expect Twilight fan fiction, unicycling drug dealers, and death defying feats. Put on your acid wash jeans and halter tops. Party starts at 9.45pm sharp, but remember – don’t tell Sophie.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

LOVED this show. The show starts the second you enter the space. Hilarious characters and amazing stunts. You can't help but have a great time. Get a ticket.
Just an edit to my review..... I saw this twice! the second night I took a friend. Loved it. The characters and talent are great.

There are 3818 other shows to go and see but we still chose to see this one twice. And I’d happily go again.

Tickets still available for this amazing show. Grab one. You will not regret it. An hour packed with fun, incredible aerobatics, trapeze, rope, uni cycling roller skating and dancing. Everybody leaves the tent with smiles on their faces. The 6 performers are all fabulous entertainers.

This show is absurdly good, words can't do it justice. Might well be the best show at the fringe this year

Best fringe show ever! Absolutely brilliant

Absolutely stunningly good show. A different take on circus, a different take on birthday parties. I particularly liked the twilight erotic fan fiction. But each of these characters is quite exceptional. You will laugh and gasp, and dance out of the tent Very highly recommended.

A cabaret of acrobats celebrate the 29th birthday (of a random girl in the front row in this Speigeltent).
Ariel acrobatics, mono-cycling, bouncing balls and a 'Skating Willburys' style roller skating pair are all pretty much at Cirque de Soleil standard. Good Fun. ****

Brilliant show! A fresh take on a trip to the circus, thoroughly enjoyed and laughed till my cheeks hurt (possibly more than the unicyclists

Great attendance at Sunday's show and I think it will quickly become a must have ticket. If you have a shortlist of must see shows, make sure to attend the surprise party! One of the most polished performances we have seen in years. We have literally seen every Cirque show in Las Vegas and this is better than some that we have seen! Once seen never forgotten, funny, dangerous and naughty, so make sure to attend! Just don't tell Sophie, Brilliant!!

The wildest party we've been to!
Definitely.our favourite show at the Fringe this year. From the moment the doors open you feel part of the show, sorry, party.
Such a funny show full of high energy acrobatics, very professionally done. Its unfair to pick a favourite as every individual provided such an entertaining performance.
Congrats to all, the first time in 8 years of the Fringe that we said we would return to a show to watch again, so hope to see you again next year.

This is a brilliant show. Loved every minute of it, funny, sexy and breathtaking. If you haven't seen great circus in a spiegeltent before then you need to see this. If you have seen great circus in a spiegeltent before then you need to see this. Oh and visitors to the spiegeltent at the Norfolk & Norwich Festival might recognise the aerialist Katharine Arnold from the brilliant Le Coup show in Norwich. Definitely go and see this show, our whole cast loved the show.

Absolutely bloody fantastic! Cannot get over just how amazing this show was, with each act bringing stupidly talented and polished performances, with an amazing degree of comedy and acting thrown in too. If you see anything this Fringe, SEE THIS SHOW!

What a refreshing take on circus! We came with our 2 teenage sons and they initially were a bit 'we're tired do we have to' as we had already had a full day of fringe following a late night at the Tattoo, and by the end they were raving about this show! It was cool music, funny, great characters and of course very daring stunts with some cleaver twists. TOTALLY AWESOME guys well done to you!

This show is fantastic!! It has heart as well as sublime physical artistry. The individual characters were beautifully drawn and had you rooting for them as they enacted their breath-taking, jaw-dropping routines. I have been wandering around the Fringe like a ghost ever since I saw it, urging every passer-by to get a ticket. This show has been my Edinburgh highlight. It really takes the biscuit!

Amazing show! It was exactly as advertised and more, the performances were excellent, and audience interaction top notch ;) We laughed so much and there were many WOW moments. The concept of the party which allowed so much talent to be demonstrated was refreshing and very clever. Go see this show, you won’t regret it. We really hope they return to the Fringe next year too!

My favourite show of the Fringe!
This team are so talented, there aren't enough claps, cheers and whoops inside the crowd to do their performance justice. I did not expect a party themed show to take my breath away. Loved it, so entertaining!
