FROM MELBOURNE TO NEW YORK: CIRCUS OZ’S HIT SHOW RETURNS TO THE COMEDY FEST
Circus Oz has today announced the return of their New York-bound spectacular, Circus Oz Non Stop, to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Following a sold-out 2023 season at the Forum Melbourne, this strictly limited eight-show season will run from 16th – 20th April at Melbourne’s Town Hall – their first performance at this iconic venue in over 20 years.
Don’t miss the chance to witness this home-grown act before it embarks on a whirlwind tour across regional Victoria, interstate, and finally, to the bright lights of New York City.
Presented by a multi-generational ensemble, for audiences of every age, Circus Oz Non Stop is a dazzling mix of comedy, acrobatics, music, and breathtaking daredevilry. Audiences will marvel at jaw-dropping aerial stunts, laugh out loud at clowning antics, and be captivated by juggling and skipping routines. With an eclectic cast spanning six decades, this fun-filled extravaganza promises to leave audiences breathless, laughing, and ready to cartwheel home.
