Ortiz34 Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Apologies if a thread already exists on this topic. What were were your non music highlights, eg, comedy, theatre, talks, films etc To start it off mine was Coldwar Steve interview at the Crows Nest on Friday morning. Honourable mention to Oxide Ghosts documentary in Pilton Palais on Thursday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigpusher Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Also saw Cold War Steve and really enjoyed it. On a side note did you get one of the postcards he was giving out? They are selling on his website for £15 and we have signed ones! He was really nice and actually signed an extra one for me for one of my friends who wasn't at the festival who is a huge fan.

Cabaret_Tent Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Siegfried and Joy were great in the astrolabe. Also thoroughly enjoyed Adam Hills and Nina Conti in the Cabaret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanoL Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Had seen Oxide Ghosts just a few weeks ago or would definitely have been there. Circus headliners Cirque du Vulgar / Circus Funtasia were great and on a scale I've not seen before: three motorbikes riding around inside a sphere was not something I'd expected to see there!

BL1ND T1G3R Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 There was a guy doing tightrope walks over the river where Bellas Bridge was at 21:30 each night. He’d then juggle fire and also play the violin mid rope / it was pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClementsMike Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I thought the Glastonbury On Sea area was really good. Id heard a few 'meh' comments about it from before but I liked it. A lot of effort in it and a cool place to check out, I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I love all the random performers at the Theatre/Circus field entrance. Always a highlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamber Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Nina Conti. Very, very funny at a packed out Cabaret stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo_l Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Alice in Wonderland routine in the circus tent. The girl climbed a free-hanging rope with her feet! Could not work out how that was done! Properly jaw-dropping moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went along for a wander this year and found it to be a really nice spot - came away with candy floss for £2.50 and a stick of rock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also really enjoyed Siegfried and Joy and glad I made the effort across site to see their show first thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I really regret the fact that I didn't do much non-music, the weekend just seemed to fly by! I saw the Black Eagles in Astrolabe and they were really entertaining. And a bit of mini tennis tournament but there didn't seem to be so much wandering stuff as usual. That said, I probably only spent an hour or so there. And I didn't realise the Circus finished early on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan1984 Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 The kinky, trippy Alice in Wonderland in the Circus tent on the Thursday evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reckoner Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Probably the tent outer cover that got caught in the wind on Wednesday as people were setting up and flew high in the sky across South Park from Paines possibly. Felt a bit sorry for whoever had to chase it, but the crowd was highly amused. Edited July 1, 2022 by Reckoner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenelk Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Really enjoyed Cirque Du Vulgar in the circus tent. Silly, smutty and at times, heart in the mouth amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
