KUNG FU, wu shu, blimey phew! The amazing acrobats of the Chinese State Circus are backflipping back to the Blackpool Grand Theatre for a four night run on January 15.

The 30-strong company claims to have presented 128,000,000 performances, and reputedly has a 2,500 year heritage.

The award-winning show stars the Guinness world record breaking Gao Twins, who balance head to head whilst spinning 16 plates on sticks, plus contortionists, gymnasts and a unicyclist who stacks a tea party on her head.

"For UK fans of truly spectacular and unique entertainment, this is a chance to see such a rare tour by such an accomplished circus," said a show spokesman.

For tickets priced from £10 telephone the box office on 290190.
