Attention Canberrans. Tomorrow and Saturday one of the very BEST circus shows is going to be gracing your theatres. Pants Down Circus is an amazing show (4.5 star review) AND it just won BEST CIRCUS SHOW at the Melbourne Fringe only a couple of weeks ago! They are performing Friday and Saturday nights at 9pm and matinee Sat at 4pm at the Street Theatre. I HIGHLY recommend you go, this is one of the coolest and most fun circus shows I’ve seen.
Also, if you’re the first or second person to email me at elena_kirschbaum@hotmail.com you get a FREE TICKET!!
Pants Down Circus

Pants Down Circus is a creative, vibrant and highly skilled ensemble working together to produce new, exciting and spectacular work without taking itself too seriously.
