Gerry Cottle is a classic showman. He ran away to join the circus at the age of 15, and worked his way up the ranks until he owned one of the biggest big tops in the world. He later developed a cocaine addiction and lost the lot, but eventually sorted himself out and regrew his empire from scratch. Today Cottle tours with his non-animal show, so you won't find any painted black panthers or miserable-looking elephants here. Instead, his troupe of talented performers awe audiences with their myriad skills — providing perfect (and humane) Christmas entertainment in one of London's most underrated parks.
