Invisible Men to visit city

The event, on the weekend of May 29 adn 30, will see both Brighton performers entertaining the crowds in the park, disappearing and reappearing in the audience, while mimicking them and involving them in their fast moving gags.

Their act consists of music and sound effects with no spoken word. They have performed at the Dublin Festival and the Montreal Comedy Festival where, according to one critic, they “have never seen an audience so united by laughter”.

The Londonderry run Carnivale is hosted by In Your Space. John Burns, In Your Space Director, said: “We are very excited about this year’s line-up and the Invisible Men are going to be a big draw. They are big on improvisation and are not afraid to get amongst their audience to get them giggling.”

The Invisible Men are just some of the Carnivale’s free entertainment that will be taking over St Columb’s Park will on the bank holiday Saturday and Sunday, from 1-6pm.

John added: “These performers will bring their experiences from around the world to entertain the Carnivale crowds. The Carnivale of Colours aims to provide alternative and accessible world class entertainment for all the family.”

This is the third year of the Carnivale. Over the weekend the park will be transformed with clowns, stilt walkers, face painters, drummers and story tellers.

The Carnivale of Colours is supported by the Lottery Fund; the Arts Council of Northern Ireland; BBC Children in Need; Derry City Council and Airporter.
