Hogwallops

The Hogwallops is a quirkily comic family friendly, colourful, loud dramatisation of the domestic adventures of a chaotic, dysfunctional family of misfits. The 5 person cast seamlessly blend thrillingly spectacular circus skills with charm, physical comedy, clowning, juggling, theatrical storytelling and slapstick.

Inspired by Roahl Dahl’s "The Twits" and Ettora Scola’s film "Brutti, Sporchi e Cattivi" (Ugly, Dirty and Bad), The Hogwallops is a treat for the eyes and ears. The hilarious family’s antics create a crazy home that resembles an adventure playground where riotous, anarchic fun prevails.

Everyday activities become triggers for mayhem. Simple tasks like hanging out the washing become a tangle of swinging, flying bodies and fabric, dinner-time becomes a teasing game of animalistic juggling and baking takes on dangerous proportions that would appal Mary Berry as the household furniture is precariously stacked and balanced on the roof.

The show’s warm humour, with heart- stoppingly virtuosic skilful aerial and floor acrobatics (watch out for the high flying, daredevil zimmer frame aerobics as well as some beautiful aerial ballet) ensures thrills, gasps, laughs and drama for both adults and children to enjoy.

The show was a big hit with audiences and critics alike at The Edinburgh Fringe and has toured extensively around the UK, Europe and America. selling out many performances along the way.
