Expect dazzling drag, breathtaking cirque performances, comedy, cabaret and plenty of surprises, all brought together for one unforgettable Saturday night beneath the Circus Cortex Big Top.

🎪 EXPERIENCE DRAG, CIRQUE & CABARET UNDER THE BIG TOP
While Circus Cortex continues to entertain family audiences with its spectacular touring productions, CorteXXX is our brand-new evening cabaret experience, created especially for grown-up nights out.
Hosted by the fabulous Dixie Normous, this unforgettable Drag, Cirque & Cabaret show in Northampton combines dazzling drag performances, breathtaking cirque acts, comedy, live entertainment and plenty of surprises beneath the Big Top.
This isn't the Circus Cortex family show with a later start time. CorteXXX is a completely separate production, created for an older audience and bringing a very different atmosphere to the Circus Cortex Big Top.
Whether you're getting a group of friends together, celebrating a special occasion, planning a date night or simply looking for an alternative Halloween night out in Northampton, expect glamour, laughter, spectacular performances and a night that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Circus gets naughty. Welcome to CorteXXX.
💃 HOSTED BY DIXIE NORMOUS
Taking control of the Big Top for the night is the fabulous Dixie Normous, bringing the drag, glamour, comedy and larger-than-life personality to keep the evening moving between the spectacular cirque and cabaret performances.
And as we're performing on Halloween night, expect Dixie to have a little extra fun with the occasion!
