Poncho: Keep it Up!

Comedy • Clown

Queensland • SA Premiere

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.
