La Clique returns to London this Christmas for its 20th anniversary season in Leicester Square, from 6 November 2024 to 5 January 2025.

The groundbreaking show will feature an unforgettable cast of awe-inspiring cabaret and circus world artists as they take to the stage in a once-in-a-lifetime lineup. Prepare for more sequins, fearless stunts and mind-blowing performances, with extra exceptional artists joining for performances throughout the run.

Joining the company for the first time ever is one of the finest hand balances in the world. Danik Abishev, who previously performed in Limbo, is set to stun audiences with his renowned ladder manipulation and hand-balancing act. Cornelius Atkinson brings his astonishing solo aerial performance to the Spiegeltent. Also making their La Clique debut are roller skater duo Isis Clegg-Vinell and Nathan Price, who defy gravity and will blow audiences away with their death-defying performance. Asher Treleaven, a longtime favourite of some of the early La Clique seasons, returns to the show in its 20th anniversary year alongside the spellbinding hair-hanger Miranda Menzies and America’s Got Talent semi-finalist Bayley Graham who’ll bring his unique tap dancing to the stage.

This 20th-anniversary production is a triumphant celebration of La Clique’s legacy. With its intimate, speakeasy-style atmosphere and immersive stage setup, La Clique invites audiences to experience a thrilling and often risqué journey that challenges traditional cabaret norms.
