CADEL: Lungs on Legs at Underbelly - Belly Laugh

CADEL: Lungs on Legs is an atmospheric new play charting the trials and triumphs of Cadel Evans – the only Australian to win the Tour de France - the most challenging road race on earth. The play is new for Edinburgh Fringe 2025 and is co-written and performed by Australian-born, New York-based Connor Delves. The play puts audiences at the heart of the Tour de France to experience the highs and lows of the epic true story of Cadel Evans.

Connor, who co-wrote the play with Edinburgh playwright Steve McMahon, performs this grueling solo show, pedaling for an hour from the saddle of the same BMC bicycle that Evans rode to victory in the 2011 race. Connor says: ‘CADEL: Lungs on Legs is a gripping ride through the sacrifices, heartaches, and sheer determination it takes to conquer cycling’s ultimate prize. Cycling is in my blood and the play brings together my passion for the sport with my theatrical career.’ Catch this unique show throughout the month of August at Edinburgh Fringe.
