Get Smashed with the Gandini Jugglers in April and May.

Get Smashed with the Gandini Jugglers in April and May.

Do you think it is too early to start thinking of summer? Well, tough. If you would rather be picturing yourself enjoying a cold beverage in a beer garden on the river instead of a cold wait on a train platform, read on.

London Wonderground is back again for its third outing from May and tickets are already available for some of the events. The line-up has a very familiar feel to it with many of last year’s hits returning. LIMBO!, the music-and-magic-and-circus extravaganza is the headline show again and will be running from 7 May to 17 August. The Spiegeltent will also again play host to those devilish trio The Tiger Lillies, Meow Meow, House of Burlesque and the Friday Night Freakshow hosted by EastEnd Cabaret.

Sister venue Udderbelly is more of a comedy venue but amongst the usual stand-up shtick are some real gems. Edinburgh Fringe favourites Gandini Juggling bring their twisted tea party Smashed to the upside-down cow. Gravity & Other Myths, a hot young circus troupe from Down Under, will pushing the limits of their bodies with a series of daring acrobatic feats in their show A Simple Space. There’s all-family fun care of The Amazing Bubbleman, Victorian magic from brilliant time-travelling duo Morgan & West. Those looking for some belly chuckles should check out comedy and music from The Horne Section, an improvised musical from the Showstoppers or louche Black Cat Cabaret compere Marcel Lucont in his own soiree simply called Is.

Tickets are available from www.londonwonderground.co.uk or www.udderbelly.co.uk as appropriate or you can call 0844 545 8282 for either venue. More information on shows will appear here as we get it.
