An international company of multi-cultural fools from Italy, France, Ireland, Ukraine, Spain, USA, and Canada will come to the UK this year, as Slava’s Snowshow, the multi award-winning global phenomenon that recently celebrated 30 years enchanting people of all ages worldwide, returns to the UK after a seven-year hiatus.

After marking its North-East England debut at the Sunderland Empire from 3 – 7 December, it will then return to the Theatre Royal Brighton, where it previously played in 2006 and 2007, from 11 – 15 December. It will then enjoy a West End Christmas season at the Harold Pinter Theatre from 18 December 2024 – 12 January 2025.

Slava Polunin said: “London has a truly central place in my heart, as the city where I truly launched my international career, when I first brought SnowShow back in the mid-90s. Britain is where I find the greatest tradition of theatre, pantomime and clowning - the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Monty Python were inspirational for me – it feels like coming home.

“SnowShow has been travelling the world every day for over 30 years, but it has been seven long years since we last brought it to the UK. We will be visiting Sunderland for the first time, and coming back to the delightful Theatre Royal in Brighton. We have played London many times, but it will be a first for us at the prestigious Harold Pinter Theatre, a stage filled with such history and magic.

“Clowning is much more than laughter—it's about seeing life from a poetic perspective, finding joy and emotions in the simple, the absurd, and the unexpected. The UK has always embraced our poetic universe, and I can’t wait to see how a new audience reacts and look forward to welcoming back familiar faces who saw SnowShow many years ago.”
