London Calling is a joyous whirlwind of cabaret, circus, magic and comedy that lives up to its ‘Pick of the Fringe’ reputation. Over a fluid and thoroughly entertaining 60-minutes this British-themed variety spectacular delivers laughter, skill and spectacle in equal measure.

A magician with comedic panache hosted the show with charm and a sharp wit making London Calling feel like a guided tour through a wonderfully madcap London night out. This set the tone from the outset, effortlessly blending audience interaction, magic and comic flair.

The show’s lighting design and British-flavoured soundtrack, which aptly included The Clash’s London Calling, complemented the performance beautifully, creating an atmosphere that felt both nostalgic and fresh.
