“There are comedy acts, escape acts, trapeze acts, and this is the first time ever for Shrewsbury.
“What is so special is that these are the top performers in the world and they are all friends of mine who have agreed to come here.”

There will be also be surprise shows inside the Pride Hill Shopping Centre, live music outside The Wheatsheaf in the High Street and impromptu street stunts around the town centre tomorrow.
