Bash Street was first launched in front of a 3,000-strong audience in the French town of Morlaix in 1991 as part of 'Les Arts dans la Rue' international street festival. This first show, a compilation of sketches involving circus skills, live music and silent comedy, proved so popular that it created a style for the company that still exists today.
Over the years the company has built a reputation for inventive and fast-moving comic-strip shows.
Since 1991 Bash Street have performed to an estimated 300,000 people. They have been delighting audiences, both young and old, with their unique style of circus-theatre at major festivals throughout the UK, as well as in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Spain, Bulgaria, Poland, Japan and Hong Kong.
