RECKON YOU’D BE able to shoot streams of electricity through your body at one million volts? Or stand perfectly still for hours at a time, covered in jaw-dropping makeup? Reckon you could maybe break a Guinness World Record, or say 55?
The performers at Laya Healthcare’s City Spectacular have done all that, and are constantly pushing the envelope when it comes to hair-raising entertainment. The free, all-ages show hits Cork’s Fitzgerald Park this weekend and it’s one not to miss.
Here’s a taste of all of the incredible stunts you can expect this weekend from some of the best street performers in the world.
An all-female aerial acrobatic show, this talented duo uses a 20 foot free-standing trapeze rig as their stage – and they’re just as impressive without it as you can see from our Facebook Live interview. Consisting of Molly Keczan and Glory Dearling, Keczan is an ex-rhythmic gymnast who used to compete for Canada in international competitions and Dearling is in the talent pool for Cirque Du Soleil – impressive.

If you’ve ever been to Glastonbury or the Edinburgh Fringe, you might have spotted Pete – he’s been performing at both for the last 18 years. Anderson is a self-described ‘Rubik’s Cube-solving knife-master’. The Londoner’s signature move? Scaling a 10 foot freestanding ladder, backwards in a kilt.
