Pants Down Circus

Describe your Fringe show. Pants Down Circus is a show greater than the sum of its parts, showcasing some of the biggest circus acts possible by a four person company.

Can you tell us briefly about yourself/your company? This show is the result of the amalgamation of two circus companies, The Circus Firemen and The Trick Ponies. By pooling our skills we have been able to create a show that includes more than eight world class circus acts. All four performers strongly believe that entertainment is the most important factor of any circus show. Of course every show should have a message, theme or story but we believe that above all else it should be enjoyable to watch. Pants Down Circus combines circus as an entertainment medium with the beauty of circus as an art form.

What inspired your Fringe show? The four of us have been working along side each other for five years and take shared joy in circus shows that keep their audiences excited and amazed from start to finish. We like upbeat shows that aim, not to confuse, but to delight their audiences by inviting them into a world where anything is possible. We are a company of optimists.

What excites you about Melbourne Fringe? The Melbourne Fringe will be the hometown debut of this show. Having charmed audiences around the country, we are excited to finally be performing in front of a home crowd.

What other shows are you looking forward to this Fringe? We are very excited to see Dos Or Duo Deux and Lives I've Seen, both on at the Melbourne Meat Market.
