Adelaide Fringe-goers, get ready for a unique and entertaining experience as Head First Acrobats bring back the award-winning show, PreHysterical! This hilarious show is perfect for the entire family, featuring mimed skits, slapstick antics, and more intricate circus skills than your kids can count.

 With the help of the Jungle-style voiceover narration, we follow a trio of crazy Neanderthals as they search for food (or nom noms as they call it!). In less than an hour, we experience surviving mosquitoes, leaping over rivers, avoiding a terrifying tiger, and more! “Roc”, “Ugh”, and “Oww” - our stars of the show, take the audience on a wild, interactive adventure of what we presume living in the stone age is like. From the impressive trapeze and hoop work to the energetic dance and clowning around, the show is fun-packed, full of energy and the performers make sure we are with them every step of the way, snot-eating, butt-sniffing and all. The tongue in cheek humour had both the mostly under 10's laughing themselves silly and the parents cackling along with them.

 We were lucky enough to witness the show through the eyes of 5-and-a-half-year-old Harry, who was enthralled for the entire performance and absolutely loved the “I like to move it, move it” finale. When I asked him what his favourite part of the show was though, his reply... "Everything!"

 A special touch for the kids when they get a photo and meet the team after the performance.

 Don't miss your chance to experience Prehysterical - a clever circus spectacular guaranteed to impress!
