Life is a Circus is a 1960 British comedy film directed by Val Guest[1] and starring Bud Flanagan, Teddy Knox, Jimmy Nervo, Jimmy Gold and Charlie Naughton of the Crazy Gang. The screenplay concerns a down-on-its-luck circus that uses an Aladdin's Magic Lamp to try to save their business.

The film is generally considered inferior to the Crazy Gang's previous screen appearances.[2]
