@ COPPER FACE JACK’S, THE PALACE HOTEL, MANCHESTER

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The most bizarre event of the summer season is almost upon us. From talking pearls of wisdom to egg worship to dub infused circus music, peculiar is the word of the day! Entry is as cheap as £1 for those in fancy dress and pairs of identical twins (fee admits both twins!). This will be the most diverse and entertaining show we’ve put on to date, so don’t miss out!

DOGSHOW – LIVE

Described as the lovechild of Justice and Gogol Bordello, Dogshow are possibly the most peculiar and enthralling live act in the UK. Having appeared at festivals including Glade and Mad Ferret, they’ve gained a huge cult following and will be bringing their full light, sound, dancers and oddities showcase to Manchester for the first time. Circus melodies fused with underground beats, performed by three odd balls. Check out the Dogshow video below!
