Circus Trick Tease
Circus Trick Tease is a raunchy, raucous and wildly entertaining caricature of the circus with all its quirks and foibles. This collection of misfits comprises a maladjusted sensitive strongman , his neurotic femme fatale, and their international superstar! They play out their chaotic roles in dazzling displays of acrobatics, precarious balances, gratuitous headstands and a human skipping rope, all the while competing for the attentions and affections of both each other and the audience.

The three stars of the show (Shannon McGurgan, Malia Walsh, & Farhad Ahadi) are some of Melbourne’s most respected entertainers, and have all performed extensively around the world. With Circus Trick Tease, they have travelled together and performed all over Australia with sell out seasons at The Melbourne Fringe (Winner - People's Choice, Melbourne Fringe 2008), The Adelaide Fringe (2009 and 2010), The Tassie Circus Festival, The WA Circus Festival and the 2010 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
