A performer with short brown hair and orange yellow headband is standing on a dark stage. They are wearing an orange plaid suit and there is a clothes rack full of orange clothes behind them. Their right hand is raised above their eye line holding a bunch of grapes that dangles in front of their nose. They appear to be sniffing the grapes.

Poncho: Keep it Up!

With an orange flavoured zest for life, this Latino-lovin’ buffoon liquifies the English language so you can slurp its runny honey gooey goodness down into your insides, transporting you into his world of play, love and… self help?

Poncho Takes you on a sensual yet consensual, absurd, and hilarious journey of storytelling and physical humour to deliver you the life advice you never knew you needed and show you the true meaning of being a lover in more detail than you’d imagine.

★★★★★ “With a grin that could slay the most conservative punter, Cabs brought out the best in the audience” RIP IT UP

★★★★ “What he is talking about here deserves to be heard by a wide audience” AU Review
