If you think you’d like to be involved, and are able to perform in a secret location near Bath on the weekend of 27th May then we want you to get in touch."

Those wanting to enter must upload a video of their performance to youtube, email the link to info@shindig-events.co.uk, before the closing date for entries, which is Feb 29th.

They are looking for "throat warblers, budgie smugglers, axe jugglers, spandex, human cannonballs, fembots, fambots, manbots...." Full rules and how to enter www.shindig-events.co.uk
