Underbelly Festival has unveiled its first five shows

Underbelly Festival unveils its first summer shows - get tickets!

You know it's officially summer when a certain giant, purple, upside-down cow pops up in London. That means the unrivalled Underbelly Festival is back in town, and you've got months of world-class live entertainment, sensational street food, and al fresco after-work drinks to look forward to.

This year, Underbelly Festival takes over two locations: Earls Court and Cavendish Square. The full line-up's TBA, but we can tell you about five superb shows that you can get tickets to right now. First up: genre-defining, multi-award-winning cabaret show La Clique, coming to the festival's famous Spiegeltent. Then there's the dazzling Circus Abyssinia, which tells the tale of Ethiopian Olympian Derartu Tulu through contortion, acrobatics, and fire-juggling.

Belly laughs are on the agenda every Friday night, as the festival welcomes top comedy talent for London Comedy Allstars. Drag variety show Yummy, and Disney parody musical Unfortunate — a daring reimagining that's definitely not for kids — complete the line-up of shows now on sale. Hit the blue button below for tickets to any of these (while they last) and get ready for some udder-ly brilliant evenings out with some of London's most a-moo-sing entertainers. (Didn't think we'd miss the chance to crack out a couple of bovine-themed puns, did you?)
