Last week the circus rolled into Manchester and transformed the city into an acrobatic playground. But it wasn't just any circus, we're talking the crème de la crème of circuses - none other than Cirque Du Soleil.
I've seen many gigs at the AO arena, but this was one of the best. From the moment I entered I felt as though I'd plunged into a book and walked into an ethereal fairy tale. The Corteo show promised an evening full of gravity-defying acrobatics, enviable costumes and enough laughs to last you into 2023.
It certainly didn't disappoint. The narrative of the story, which centred around an elderly clown, wasn't entirely easy to follow (especially after a couple of glasses of wine), but you know what? It really, really didn't matter.
