The show, which was created especially for the festival, will feature the talents of UK parkour pioneers 3RUN, a free running performance team that appeared in the Bond film Casino Royale and holds 15 Guinness World Records.

The E4 Udderbelly season, which is held in a giant upturned purple cow on the South Bank, runs from 21 April to 17 July this year, with performances of Free Run taking place from 16 May.

The annual summer season also features a host of comedy, cabaret and theatre, including The Comedy Store Players, The Fitzrovia Radio Hour, Gina Yashere, Lucy Porter, Richard Herring and Showstopper! The Improvised Musical. It also welcomes Paul Daniels, Barry Cryer, Jim Bowen and Roy Walker to its stage as part of the Southbank Centre’s Festival of Britain 60th anniversary celebrations with MasterCard.
