I wonder that too, she was with her bf, and her name was Emily, a very young girl too, but she looked terrified on stage, who wouldn't be with flames being thrown at you, but she was definitely not shy when they picked her out.

There was a girl picked on in the performance I saw.

She was pregnant so probably not the same person.

I think they just single out a female in the front row for every performance.

I was there last night and thought Emily was a good sport, no way would I get on stage to have fire flying by my head, even after getting covered by water, salt, flying balls, etc. I thought the show was poorly attended and was quite short in length, but how many items can you juggle before people get bored? I also liked the way they mentioned the current events of the riots in London, the Queen and the government. Entertaining nonetheless. 7/10

We were sat in the second row behind the lady who was picked to stand in the middle of the flaming torches flying past her nose - she looked terrified but was a very good sport. The theatre was only half full but the crowd were pretty enthusiastic and cast seemed to appreciate it. After the show, the Brothers were outside the theatre to chat with people and to sign autographs. They seemed to be really nice guys.
Oh that was you with the little boys. I was in the same row as you, at the end on your right. Good job I was not in the front two seats in front of me, when the crutches flew off the stage! Where I sat I was sprayed with water, salt, fresh cream, and fizzy drink or was it really champagne?

Heard lots of other young children really enjoying it, and chuckling away. I thought the stall was pretty full, about 90% when I looked round. No one in the upstairs seats, they put everyone in the stalls. The girl they nicknamed "cardboard lady" in front of you dovetail, was picked on all night, and she was very brave to go up and have flaming touches thrown at her! 8O

Great innovative and funny entertainment.
Hi prettyxcool! Wish I'd known what you looked like to to say hello. We got sprayed with water, salt and cava but luckily not the cream. Sound like there were some fmukkers present - but I didn't recognise any faces. It's a shame that the show is closing early - even with kids go free week and £12.50 tickets. Definite recommend it.
