After years daring to go where others won't, this troupe is back to cause a stir...
You’ll Never Guess Who’s Back… To Defy Gravity (and Gender Expectations)

YUCK Circus is back in town with thier OG production, and it's about to flip everything you thought you knew about circus and comedy.

There’s a buzz in the air, Perth. YUCK Circus—the wild, unapologetic show that shook the city in 2020—is back, and this time, it’s bigger, bolder, and breaking even more rules than before.

Remember the audacious stunts? The unfiltered humor? The fierce, feminist messaging that left some gasping and others cheering and leaping to their feet in glee? Well, it’s all back, and this time, they’re flipping not just through the air, but also through your expectations.

But wait—don’t expect your usual circus fare. YUCK Circus isn’t here to juggle rubber chickens (bin chickens maybs) and tie a neat bow around your safe little world. Nope. This is the circus where gravity is defied, period jokes fly fast and loose, and gender expectations are anything but...

 

Gravity? Oh, that's sooo 2020


YUCK Circus is known for its high-flying acrobatics that leave audiences on the edge of their seats. But it’s not just the aerial stunts that are defying gravity—it’s the way the show challenges societal norms, gender roles, and the status quo. You might think you’re in for a night of flips and laughs, but what you don’t expect is to leave with your world shook.

 

A feminist agenda that’s no joke (well, it’s a lil bit of a joke)


While others shy away from taboo topics, YUCK dives headfirst into them. Think acrobats, comedy, and real talk about everything from periods to catcalling—nothing is off-limits. Secret pals of the patriarchy are bound to squirm in their seats as the thought-provoking chucklefest ensues. 

 

These chooks are affecting change


YUCK Circus isn’t just about flips and laughs—they’re shaking up the world with real social change. From teaming up with local women's charities in the name of ending homeless periods, to helping remote Indigenous communities express themselves through circus arts, they’re flipping [off] gender norms too—with their Drinkclusion program, boosting female representation in brewing. All that, plus some seriously bold performances.

 

Tickets? Snatch ‘em up fast, if you know what's good you. Don your moustache, flex them biceps and get your woo on in the front row.
