CADEL: Lungs on Legs

From down under to the top of the podium — experience the riveting true story of Cadel Evans, the first and only Australian to win the Tour de France.

Fresh from a sold-out, award-winning season at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe, Connor Delves delivers a powerhouse solo performance that puts audiences in the cycling saddle. Pedalling live on the bike Evans rode to victory. Delves fuses grit, storytelling and heart-pounding energy in a breathtaking theatrical ride. A high-octane tribute to endurance, ambition and the spirit of Australian sport.

★★★★ "A performance of vivid, compelling energy....a tour de force of the Tour de France.” The Scotsman 

★★★★★ "Connor Delves is magnificent and brings Cadel Evans to life in a gruelling physical performance." Theatre Weekly
