About the event
The Great Dave is already legendary—but when the kids go to bed, he brings out his most daring, unfiltered self. With the same gravity-defying juggling and unicycle brilliance, this nighttime edition of the show leans harder into hilarious audience interaction, sharp improvisation, and bold British wit.
He’ll still take your outrageous suggestions and spin them into awe-inspiring juggling feats—but be warned, this version is peppered with dry humour, cheeky innuendo, and crowd banter that’s tailored for an adult audience. Come for the circus skills, stay for the side-splitting banter that’s far too good for the kids.
