E4 Udderbelly Festival will hit the ground running this summer with the world premiere of high-octane, physical spectacular Free Run. Combining the explosive action sport of free running, with parkour, acrobatics and martial arts, Free Run has been created exclusively for E4 Udderbelly as the festival's headline show. It is the first time a show of this nature has ever been presented onstage in the UK.

Free Run will feature 3RUN, one of the world's leading performance teams skilled in parkour, free running, martial arts and urban acrobatics. Between them, 3RUN hold 15 Guinness World Records and have one of the most watched channels on YouTube with 13 million hits. 3RUN have featured in countless action sequences for film, television and advertising. 3RUN are considered the pioneers of free running and parkour in the UK, forming in 2003.

E4 Udderbelly Festival returns to Southbank Centre in 2011 for the third consecutive year and it's longest season to date. The festival features the very best of family and big night out entertainment, offering cutting edge comedy, cabaret, theatre, music, children's entertainment and physical spectacle. To coincide with Southbank Centre's 60th anniversary of the 1951 Festival of Britain celebrations with MasterCard, E4 Udderbelly is also running a "National Treasures" season, with shows from the likes of Paul Daniels, Barry Cryer and Roy Walker. Other comedy talent includes Dom Joly, Jason Byrne and Frisky and Mannish amongst many others.
