[2015088] Pants Down Circus ROCK!
Pants Down Circus @ Garden of Unearthly Delights – The Factory

Knowing that my Significant Other was in town for a limited time – and having declared that she wanted to experience a bit of my Festivalian activities – I was left in a bit of a quandary: do I take her to the shows that I know (or suspect) are going to be sure-fire hits? Or do we experience the unknown together? For circusy things, I thought it best to stick with the former; I naturally wanted her to see the always-amazing A Simple Space, but other events conspired against us. Second choice – and helpfully supported by a matinée – was Pants Down Circus’ ROCK!.
The show felt almost exactly the same as last year’s rendition, but that’s taking nothing away from the spectacle – and humour – in the show: the unlikely juggling and leaf-blower tricks, the callback tennis-racquet guitar antics to the opening notes of Walk This Way, the astonishing hoop and balancing acts, and the non-stop positivity emanating from the Pants Down Circus crew remained intact.
And all that makes ROCK! a sure-fire winner… both for a punter who has seen the show before (like me), and for someone experiencing the show for the first time (my delightful Significant Other).
(88) Pants Down Circus ROCK!: So good, so well paced, so entertaining. Wonderful circussy goodness. #ff2015 #ADLfringe
