Tweedy’s Massive Circus, Salisbury

CIRCUS mayhem meets Laurel and Hardy silliness as Tweedy’s Massive Circus pitches up at Combe Bissett, near Fordingbridge.

Renowned as the star of Giffords Circus, Tweedy the Clown is embarking on his first headline tour with a brand new show, which will be at Salisbury Campsite until Sunday 16th June.

The part-circus-part-comedy show, sees Tweedy attempting to launch his very own Massive Circus – unfortunately, the tent has shrunk and Tweedy hasn’t a clue. The much-loved star of Giffords Circus for over 15 years is taking some time out to start his own circus show with his friends in their own ‘little’ big top. What could possibly go wrong?

Tweedy is well known for bringing new comic routines and skills to the show each year and now it’s time for him to delight audiences with his very own show. He possesses exceptional expertise in traditional circus abilities, coupled with his skills playing multiple musical instruments. In January 2023, Tweedy was named in the King’s New Year Honours List for his services to circus and local community, he was awarded a BEM – British Empire Medal.

Tweedy is joined by Sam Goodburn, Reuben Greeph and Loren O’Dair to complete the cast who will be getting themselves into trouble at the shrunken little big top.

Tweedy is a contemporary vaudeville-style clown who performs in theatre, circuses as well as on TV and film. Well-known for his role in Cheltenham’s pantomime, Tweedy's unique style evokes a whimsical, yet natural comic character. Having once described circus performing as something he was “born to do”, this show promises to bring Tweedy’s signature delight to audiences of all ages.

Tweedy said: “I can't wait to start touring Tweedy's Massive Circus in our tiny big top. A show where the clowns are in charge of everything! A chaotic, circus, clown show of magic, mirth and mayhem.”
