Family entertainment spectacular ‘CIRCUS The Show’ returns to Fringe

Award-winning CIRCUS The Show returns to Fringe with more magic, laughter and jaw-dropping acts for the whole family!

Prepare to be dazzled as the fastest-growing family circus sensation, CIRCUS • The Show, returns to Adelaide in 2024, following its groundbreaking and sold-out performances across the country. Having captivated audiences from the Adelaide Fringe to the Melbourne Comedy Festival and beyond, this family favourite is back by popular demand, promising an even bigger and more breathtaking spectacle than ever before.

After the phenomenal success of previous seasons, including a sell-out debut at the 2021 Adelaide Fringe Festival and acclaimed runs at prestigious venues like Her Majesty’s Theatre in Adelaide and Tasmania’s Theatre Royal, CIRCUS is set to enchant Adelaide once again, running from Saturday, February 17th to Sunday, March 17th at The Moa in Gluttony.

With every show sold out days in advance during its last Adelaide Fringe season, the 2024 comeback is stepping up with a larger venue, more show times, and an expanded star-studded cast, ensuring more families have the chance to experience the magic.

CIRCUS is celebrated for its exceptional blend of world-class illusions, tumbling acrobats, skilled jugglers, elegant aerialists, comedy, and an adorable clown, all of which have earned it countless 5-star reviews and the title of Best Children’s Show at the Adelaide Fringe.

The 2024 edition promises to elevate this legacy, featuring the renowned WA headliner Magnus Danger Magnus as the Ringmaster and the comedic genius Nathan Green, who will perform daring stunts, including fitting inside a gigantic 6FT BALLOON!

Joining the spectacle are aerialist and hula-hoop virtuoso Shaunah Johnson, urban circus legend Richard Sullivan, and the phenomenal Adelaide-based Diamond Duo, all set to deliver performances that will leave audiences in awe.

Their breathtaking acts of dance, acrobatics, and juggling are not only entertaining but also convey a powerful message of embracing uniqueness and chasing dreams, no matter how wild.

Producer and performer Sam Hume encapsulates the essence of the show.

“CIRCUS brings together years of experience and skill in the industry. We have some of the most talented family circus performers on the Fringe circuit on board to help teach children the importance of celebrating difference. The show concludes with a powerful message to always embrace your weirdness and never lose sight of your dreams.”
