Circus acts have formed a large part of the Adelaide Fringe program in recent years, and 2025 is no exception. If you’re feeling a bit over-circused, perhaps get along and see CIRCUS The Show with one of the young people in your life. As a child-oriented circus performance, CIRCUS The Show brings the magic and wonder of the genre to the younger generation, while keeping the adults entertained and amused as well.

Best of all though, as an adult, experiencing CIRCUS The Show through the eyes of a child is almost as good as being a kid watching the circus for the first time again. Full of excellent humour and amazing feats, CIRCUS The Show is the epitome of ‘fun for the whole family’. 

Classic clowning, amazing acrobatics, magnificent magic, and astonishing aerial work, all combine to delight and enthral the audience. As a Daddy-Daughter review team, our favourite act was easily the clown finalé, however each act was awesome and had the audience captivated. 

CIRCUS The Show is undoubtedly designed for kids, and they do a brilliant job as a kid’s circus performance, but the adults among you will love it too. Go and enjoy the fun together.
