Trash Test Dummies Circus

Back for ONE LAST FRINGE, this slapstick circus comedy is “delightfully intelligent & highly entertaining” ★★★★★ Herald Sun.

Overflowing with high-energy antics, wild imagination and bin-based brilliance, it’s “a circus and acrobatic show perfect for families” ★★★★★ Edinburgh Festival For Kids,  “What kids and adults so readily enjoy is the adept, unadulterated mischief.” ★★★★★ The Times, UK.

Expect jaw-dropping acrobatics, hilarious juggling and the most action-packed wheelie bins you've ever seen.  Winners of Best Children’s Presentation at Adelaide Fringe, 2015 and adored in 17 countries, the Dummies return for one final Adelaide Fringe season.
