Vertical Reality : The Show

Posted in Unspecified

Wow Wow Wow!!! What a night!!!

All day setting up, staging, lighting, sound, visuals, routine practices. All pretty stressful and tiring, and then we had to perform.

We had a slight (huge) scare about an hour before performance when the lights blew! We had overloaded the electronics or something technical like that... Anyhow our team were on hand to swiftly reconfigure and got them sorted with about fifteen minutes to go, phew!

The place was filling quickly and tension grew as the introduction began and the voiceover announced the presence of Vertical Reality

The window scene was a complete hit and loved by all!!!

Next- hip-hop scene, Matt, Eggy, Brummy and Tim set the scene with super slick diabolo skills, followed by the introduction of the crews from MC Stephenson. The battle got hotter and hotter with diabolo tricks, acrobatics and break dance; finally the crowd judged the slickest crew and they were awarded the honour of victory!



Yes we can juggle, and to prove it we did a nice bit of freestyle club action



Martial artists Jake and Dave took to the stage with their show stopping martial arts routine. The height of technique and power combined with comedy to produce one of the fan favourites.



My Spoon then performed a 20-minute set of their pop punky music as our hardcore fans blitzed the merchandise stall



After the interval Dave Summers, Dave Stephenson and Jake Mahal performed a spotlight percussion routine on the most bizarre drum kits you’ve ever seen.

The Grandstand was set; on to centre court appeared Roger Featherer and Bjorn Dork for a game of juggling tennis.



After a spot of audience participation and an auction for the last signed Vertical Reality spinning plate Dave and Jake were back were back with their second martial arts routine.

My Spoon returned for another great set, with members of the audience clambering onto the stage and moshing at the front!

To finish the night off was the famous glow show, Dave Stephenson kicking off with magical appearing lights then supported by the rest of the team sporting various glow paraphernalia for an awe inspiring effect.



Vertical Reality hit the stage one last time with some jaw dropping final tricks to say goodnight and take a bow before heading off to a merchandise sale and signing session!

The show was so much fun and adrenaline filled to be a part of and there will be many more to follow with more weird, wacky entertainment for all.

A big thank you to Freak Lizard Productions for the filming and video entertainment. We love you Leppi.
