Doreen's Big Top

The Black Country comic icon - played by actress Gill Jordan - is bringing Doreen's Big Top to Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, Telford, Brierley Hill, Birmingham, Worcester and Redditch.

The show will see Doreen explore the history of the circus , including a peek behind the weird and wonderful Victorian freak shows.

But organisers say that according to Doreen, the whole world is a circus, 'so expect to be launched like a cannonball into all manner of modern-day freakery – including an hilarious look at the Westminster circus, and some of the clowns who try and run the country'.

A preview of the show on Doreen's website says: "Marvel at Doreen’s breathtaking feats of laziness, gasp in disbelief as she tackles the elephant in the room, juggles with a couple of big ideas, walks a death-defying tightrope of political correctness with no safety net, and attempts fire-eating with a Black Country vindaloo.

"Add a liberal dash of video magic, and some truly unforgettable musical moments, and you have a recipe for a Big Top full of loffs, Doreen-style."

Dates she will be performing are as follows:

October 5 and 6: Red Rose, Rugeley

October 10 and 11: Stafford Gatehouse Theatre

October 15, 16 and 17: Oakengates Theatre, Telford

October 23 and 24: Prince Of Wales Theatre, Cannock

October 25 and 26: Crescent Theatre, Birmingham

October 29 and 30: Swan Theatre, Worcester
