The Barnum show will run at the Liverpool Empire in Liverpool on 15th September 2026, with tickets priced from £15. The show is a tribute to Phineas Taylor Barnum, an American showman and businessman. He is remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes and founding the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
Phineas Taylor Barnum was an American showman, businessman, and politician remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes and founding the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus with James Anthony Bailey. He was also an author, publisher, and philanthropist, although he said of himself: "I am a showman by profession ... and all the gilding shall make nothing else of me." The adage "there's a sucker born every minute" has frequently been attributed to him, although no evidence exists that he had coined the phrase.
