London Calling is a joyful step back in time, evoking old-world England with the feeling of hopping on the underground and seeing where the night takes you. There’s a strong sense of theatre throughout, wrapped in warmth, nostalgia, and a personal touch that makes the show feel intimate rather than flashy.

What stands out most is the sheer talent on display. The juggling appears effortless but is never predictable - even when the wind decides to get involved. Instead of breaking the moment, it becomes part of the charm. There’s a playful line between skill and illusion, leaving you smiling and occasionally wondering how on earth that just happened.

Humour runs gently through the show, and audience participation is handled with ease and good spirit, never feeling forced. Visual moments using light, shadow, and simple props are surprisingly effective, proving that spectacle doesn’t need to be loud to be memorable.

There’s an old-fashioned quality to London Calling that feels refreshing at the Fringe — good, clean fun built on timing, craft, and personality. It may not be what you expect when you walk in, but it’s exactly the kind of show you’re glad you discovered.

Charming, skilful, and quietly magical, London Calling earns its 4.5 stars with confidence.
