Be part of a Halloween no one will ever forget at one of Bristol's most creative venues.
Wake The Tiger in Bristol is teaming up with Lost Track Of Time for three nights of Halloween mischief - Thursday 29th, Friday 30th and Saturday 31st October - and we need five performers ready to become pigeons. Not just any pigeons. Pigeons who can go from business pigeons in sharp suits, out among guests directing mini games with commitment and comic precision, to party pigeons joining the DJs on stage, gogo dancing to house, disco, and electro in a costume of your choosing.
We're looking for performers who thrive on improvising with a live audience and can genuinely move when the lights go low and the bass comes up - strong physical characterisation, confident improv, and dancing that holds its own under a lightweight pigeon headpiece. We're open to any style, so bring whatever makes you unstoppable on a dance floor.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Everyone is welcome here, all ethnicities, genders and ages (18+), the only real requirement is that you're up for the physical demands of the role: full costume, a lot of time on your feet, and movement-led performance from start to finish.
When
- Thursday 29th October - 18:00 to 02:00
- Friday 30th & Saturday 31st October - 20:00 to 04:00
Each shift includes rehearsal, briefing and performance.
Looking after our flock
This is a no-touch performance role - there is no physical contact with the audience.
A member of the Wake The Tiger team will be your on-site person throughout the night, for anything you need.
You'll have a private space to change and stash your things and breaks throughout the evening.
Costume
We'll provide the pigeon head and the business suit. We'll just need your measurements (height, chest/bust, waist, hip) to get your fit right. Got your own suit that fits the brief? Even better, let us know.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
For Party Pigeon, the gogo look is yours to create. It's Halloween, so lean into it - sexy ghosts, sexy pumpkins, the ever-reliable sexy cat, or your own spin on the theme.
On your feet
Bring your own black boots you can comfortably move in as Business Pigeon, and your own dancing shoes for when Party Pigeon takes the stage.
The fee
£200 per day, paid on a self-employed basis.
Please only apply if you can commit to all three nights.
