Mat Ricardo 'Showman'
by Gag Reflexcomedy, physical-theatre-and-circus
Mat Ricardo: The UK’s most successful juggler; presents big laughs, serious skills, slapstick, breathtaking spectacle
about the production
Two and a half decades of work, practice, honing, polishing, brainstorming and attempting if not the impossible then certainly the bloody difficult, means that in a world where variety is seen as an unfashionable relic only suited for talent shows, Mat Ricardo is at the forefront of the reinvention and re-evaluation of his art form. Witness him on stage; an opportunity to see genuine danger, dexterous elegance, and thrills, performed by a man at the top of his game. He beguiles his audience with both old favourites and signature routines including some that have never been performed before at all
