We believe joy is essential, especially now, whether it’s a fleeting dance in the street or a show that makes you laugh, think and talk about change. With over 20 years of experience in unusual places and situations, we’re defined by our warmth, charisma, energy and expertise. Everyone deserves the fun  we create.

We are experts at putting on fabulous shows.Crowd Annabelle Compere photo by Hannah Edy IMG_5521 copy small copy

“Quirky, skilled, inventive and charming . . . an irresistible blend that is guaranteed to make you chuckle.” – Bristol Old Vic

From the streets of Europe to award nominated cabaret fringe shows in Australia to the West End, hanging from cranes, setting fire to things, making audiences laugh and cry . . . you name it, we can engineer it with style and seemless organisation.

We’ve been seen at:  The National Theatre, Bristol Old Vic, Café De Paris, Cheltenham Comedy Festival, Winchester Hat Fair, Dubai, Kuwait, Amsterdam, Denmark, Poland, Fusion Festival Germany, Cannes Film Festival, Glastonbury, Bestival & Shambala Festivals, Bristol Harbourside Festival and Brighton International Circus Festival, Future Cinema, No Fit State Circus, Bassline Circus, a commission hanging from cranes for Bristol Organic Food Fair and creating a fire show for a Royal Wedding.

REVIEW

As always, Frenetic Engineering presented a high-energy show, which was very well received by a very large audience. The audience number well exceeded our expectations and the company were able to share each moment of the performance and kept everyone of all ages engaged.

The brief was a street-theatre setting, but the event attracted so many people it turned into a large-scale theatre event.  Les Femmes Fatal was the first performance to the large audience and had the job of engaging everyone and preparing them for an evening of outdoor theatre – which they did with their feast of fire, knife-throwing and comedy. – Joe Ballard Peterborough Events Manager – Joseph BallardFestival & Events Manager, Peterborough City Council
