Review: Circus Trick Tease

MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL
Circus Trick Tease
31 March 2010
Trades Hall


With a mixture of slap stick, innuendo and some of the best duo and trio acrobalance around, Circus Trick Tease continue to show that fabulous circus is much more then spectacular handstands and leopard print unitards.

Welcome to the vivacious Miss Tinkle's circus. She can do the spits and has a sexual appetite worthy of the greatest lover, but her fellow performers aren't always in her obsessive control. Her sensitive new age strong man keeps picking up hussies in the audience and has cast his eye to their new strong and silent clown.

Shannon Mc Gurgan, Malia Walsh and Farhad Ahadi's Circus Trick Tease appeared at the 2008 Melbourne Fringe and this upstaging, jealous and swinging trio have been welcomed and loved at many festivals since.

With characters that could carry the show without their jaw-dropping tricks, it's a bit naughty but never offends and leaves its audience with ridiculous smiles from start to finish.

If you've seen them before, you'll love it again and everyone else get in now before they head overseas.
