"Impressive illusions, unsubtle slapstick, and seamless silliness."
Rolling into Edinburgh for the first time is the winner of the Best Children’s Event at Adelaide’s Fringe in 2021, 2022, and 2024, the wonderfully whimsical and imaginative CIRCUS – The Show.
Showmen Productions brings us a ‘circus’ full of talented performers that baffled and dazzled both kids and adults alike.
The show is packed with impressive illusions, unsubtle slapstick, and seamless silliness in the form of a breathtaking aerialist, a helluva hula hooper, a basketballer with mad spinning skills, a jaw-dropping juggler, a mystifying magician, a rip-roaring ringmaster and his cheeky and clumsy clown pal and his gigantic 6ft balloon. Not a euphemism.
CIRCUS – The Show is a fun and entertaining spectacle of laughs, acrobatics, and illusions that will have the whole family “ooh” and “aah” in amazement.

EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE
For three weeks in August, the city of Edinburgh welcomes an explosion of creative energy from around the globe. Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city, presenting shows for every taste. Venues can be anywhere, from existing theatres and concert halls to repurposed spaces like bars, parks, buses and shipping containers. The Fringe street events bring colour, excitement and vibrancy to outdoor areas, free of charge.
From big names in the world of entertainment to unknown artists looking to build their careers, the festival spans every genre of live performance, including theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children's shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions and events.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, a registered charity, is the company that organises the structure that underpins the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The level of commitment required for such an undertaking would not be possible if it weren’t for the enthusiasm of the people of Edinburgh, combined with the longstanding support of our audiences, sponsors, supporters and the goodwill of the Fringe Friends and Angels.
The Fringe Society strives to provide support that exceeds participant and public expectations, and we ask you to join us in supporting this challenge. Every penny you give makes a difference, helping us to develop the services we provide for performers and audience.
There are a number of ways of supporting the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, from one-off donations to becoming a Fringe Friend.
