Circus Oz - 30th Birthday Bash

When a circus company is celebrating its 30th birthday, you know you must be in for a treat. All those years of successful repertoire must hold a few gems of tried and tested, audience-pleasing routines, while the ageing trapeze ladies get to showcase all their dazzling career highlights.

With Circus Oz, however, you can ditch all such expectations. To prove that they are still young at heart, they will make a point of subverting every existing circus convention and putting an original spin on each familiar technique. Thus you will be served up such delights as a clowning routine on rollerblades, a lion tamer in a hula hoop, and a bricklaying juggling act (builder's bum included). I'll let you meet Eric - the talking dog with a penchant for stand-up comedy - yourself. And, of course, none of it is finished until a pack of kangaroos has performed their somersaulting finale.

However, it is the very last image of this show that really encapsulates Circus Oz's attitude to their big day – their sprightliest, cheekiest, youngest member, entangled with the grandfather of the troupe in a bubble gum prank gone wrong. Roll on decade four!
