Circus Oz – Here, There and Everywhere! Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Directed and co-devised by Nicci Wilks and performed by Sharon Gruenert, Leo Pentland, Angelique Ross, Hannah Richards, Spenser Inwood, Debra Batton and Mozes, the show blends circus, theatre and comedy in a way that feels fresh, chaotic (in the best way) and completely entertaining from start to finish.

You can expect a huge mix of acts including trapeze, high rope skills, hula hoops, skipping routines, magic, roller skating and a hilarious plate-spinning finale. There’s plenty of silliness woven throughout, but underneath the comedy is serious talent. These performers are highly trained artists pushing strength, balance and endurance to the limit, and somehow making it look effortless. I honestly don’t know how they manage two shows most days; I felt tired just sitting and watching them.
