The London school teaching the tricks of the circus trade – from acrobats to the trapeze

The London training school, Circus Space, runs courses in being a big-tent performer – from acrobatic balancing to swinging from the trapeze. Radio presenter Neil McCarthy signs up to learn the tricks of the circus trade.

Also on the show, the growing popularity of Africa’s very first circus group, Circus Ethiopia; and we meet fire-eating Doctor Haze, leader of the British-born Circus of Horrors.
