Chelsea McGuffin & Co, legendary creator of fantastical circus shows Scotch & Soda and Cantina, storm Norwich for the first time with international hit Le Coup.

Enter a neo-vaudeville speakeasy, where it’s fight night at the circus. Join a ragtag troupe of travelling misfits as they compete and challenge each other with amazing circus skills, fire breathing, daring aerial feats, tap dancing and acrobatics.

Let the Boss show you the ropes as The King of the Ring, Sally the Ally Cat, The Bookie, Bloody Mary, and Fred put on a real show. Grab a drink, place your bets and pull up a seat ringside for a fight like no other!

Le Coup is a tribute to funfairs, boxing troupes and the showmen and women of yesteryear, accompanied by a ferocious live soundtrack from bluegrass band Father Grant and The Blunt Objects.

Chelsea McGuffin & Co have gained a reputation for creating visceral vaudevillian worlds in which acrobatics, magic, dance, and live music entwine for a scintillatingly visceral entertainment experience.
