EDINBURGH 2010: Circus Trick Tease

Take one very sensitive strongman, his neurotic acrobatic femme fatale, add a confused, international act (for a touch of exotic glamour), plus a smoulder of sexual tension - what do you get? Circus Trick Tease, of course!

Australia's raunchiest, cheekiest and most raucous circus brings its hilarious witty parody of traditional circus to the Edinburgh Fringe for the very first time. Circus Trick Tease come to Underbelly's E4 Cowbarn fresh from wowing audiences at the 2010 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Adelaide Fringe with their incredible displays of acrobatics, heart stopping three-person-high balances & precarious human skipping rope.

Circus Trick Tease is the creation of three talented acrobats: Malia Walsh (Miss Tinkle) trained at the Australian Royal Academy of Dance before going on to learn fire knife dance in Samoa; Shannon McGurgan (Plonk) is a trained gymnast and former nurse who has travelled the world with circus troupes including Australia's Circus Royal. Talented Iranian performer Farhad Ahadi (Ghazanfar), a former star of Silvers Circus, completes the trio.

So come on down and join Plonk, Ghazanfar and the lovely Miss Tinkle for a night at the circus like no other. Gasp! Guffaw! And be seduced by the dazzling acrobatics, precarious balances and gratuitous headstands of Circus Trick Tease.
