The boys (and girl) are back for another round of mischievous mayhem in Fringe’s premier adult circus showcase! ‘Circus'Cision: Those that made the cut!’ is a titillating mash-up of circus performers from this year's FRINGE WORLD. This show is irrefutably a Fringe-classic. 

The hour-long show sets the stage for a handful of solo performances reflecting the breadth of talent and ability of Fringe’s circus troupe. The boys from Head First (creators of acrobatic circus hits Elixir and Railed) broadly tie the show together, but the female performers steal the show. Highlights from the girls include a daring core delisse high ropes act, contortion that challenges the concept of the muscular-skeletal system and a graceful flight on the trapeze that fills the mind with awe. 

The lads from ‘Head First’ largely give us more of the same that they have in past years. Their locker-room antics, amazing acrobalance and freaky pop culture interpretations still have entertainment value in the tank for both new and return audiences. 

This show is Peak Fringe, and a staple of the Woodside Pleasure Gardens. Don’t miss it.
