Meet the cast bringing Christmas chaos to the stage
The Big Christmas Show brings together four brilliant performers, each with their own unique style, skills and larger-than-life personality.

As well as performing in the show, Cameron is one of the driving forces behind Insane Productions Ltd and its ambitious live entertainment projects.
Lily Phoenix - Queen of Hoops
Prepare to be mesmerised by Lily Phoenix's incredible circus artistry. Her hoop skills bring a spectacular visual element to the production, combining precision, movement and show-stopping moments.
