CARTOON Circus Live promises a laughter-packed time for families in Keighley and Silsden during the Easter holidays.

The 80-minute show sets out to combine the comedy of pantomime with the thrill of the circus.

Organisers boast that they have some of Britain's funniest clowns, traditional slapstick comedy, magic, illusions, balancing, high flying diabolos, cartoon characters, and an acrobatic human slinky.

In addition, there will be plate spinning, puppets, prizes and a performing piranha.

Charlie Cheesecake, the show’s chief laughter maker, said: “We are delighted to be coming to Keighley and Silsden for the very first time this Easter.

“We are bringing bucketfuls of fun and gallons of laughs, whatever the weather, for all the family.”

Cartoon Circus Live will be at Victoria Hall, Keighley, on Monday, April 10, and Silsden Town Hall on Wednesday April 12, both at 1.30pm
