Devised and performed by Debra Batton, Sharon Gruenert and Spenser Inwood (Casting Off), Jarred Dewey and Olivia Porter (Yummy and Party Ghost), Flip Kammera (Fantasia Fitness), Leo Pentaland (Blunderland), Carl Polke and Chris Lewis (Los Cojones, Squawkestra, Bush Gothic, Wiki People), with cameo appearances from circus legends.

Forum Downstairs entry is through the main foyer and the large double doors in the centre of the foyer. There is a small set of stairs on the left-hand side of the performance space. For step-free/wheelchair access, there is a ramp on the right-hand side of the performance space that leads to the floor seats.

The large auditorium on the ground floor has been remodelled into a cabaret style venue, with seating on the flat floor section, a slightly raised section with one step behind the floor seats, a booth section behind that and more seats in a slight raked style seating at the rear of the booths. A sloped floor leads to seating in booths and tables. For most seating, one or two steps must be scaled.
