Mr Shaggles Circus World
Child and Family Friendly
Mr Shaggles Circus World is an interactive circus performance where the audience becomes the show. Mr Shaggles uses puppetry, clowning, juggling, acro-balance and magic to direct, cajole and encourage his audience to join in. A series of misunderstandings and disasters leaves Mr Shaggles trapped on stage without any performers and he turns to his audience to recruit animal trainers, jugglers and acrobats to “save the show”. This show has toured extensively through Australia and New Zealand and can be performed as a roving, street show or stage style performance. It can be up to one hour in duration and technical set up can be self contained.

Mr Shaggles Circus World Gluttony – The Bally, Sat Feb 23
Mr Shaggles declares “I’m not a PlayStation” and he’s right – he’s better than a PlayStation! His is an old-fashioned silly circus with crazy antics and mishaps, juggling, balloon animal taming, acrobatics and a cheeky koala called Bruce who likes to misbehave. Mr Shaggles Circus World is indeed a fun and loopy place to be. The show really reaches its highpoint when the audience become the performers: poor Mr Shaggles is let down by his unreliable acrobats who appear to have fled the circus, and it’s up to the audience to save the show. It is very cool to see the acrobatic tricks that unsuspecting audience members are capable of at a moment’s notice, and it’s true what Mr Shaggles says: his circus world is your circus world. Enter into it and prepare for a whole lot of crazy entertainment and laughs! Final Word: Fun!

"It was awesome! We’ve never had such a wonderful birthday party. Kids enjoyed the show so much and even parents are quite into him. We can feel his enthusiasm on performance and kids. One of the best entertainers in Hobart."

The Yoga Clowns
Yoga Clowns of the Apocalypse
Three fools are lost in a dystopian world ruled by the omnipresent goddess of destruction Kali. A world where it rains bike tires and enlightenment is sought through jetpacks, junk towers and endless yoga practice. With a shopping trolley ballet, a remote control chicken and a big brother presence guiding you through your meditation, this work is an absurd and eclectic voice of humor in the stark dystopia of today’s global consumer demise. Nothing is hidden. All is up for grabs.
Its fun, dynamic, theatrical and packs a poetic punch. Hilarious, clever with unexpected use of salvaged materials that makes up the set, ordinary objects used in extraordinary way’s.

Mama's Bag of Feathers
Mama' Bag of Feathers is the first show from the exciting new collaboration The Decrepit Cabaret between twin brothers Shannon and Mark McGurgan. It has received 4 star reviews in both Adelaide and Melbourne Fringe Festivals.
Mama's Bag of Feathers
How do you react when you see a couple arguing on the street? Do you empathize with the man or do you feel a connection to the woman?
Does the rational logic of a situation dominate your sensibilities or is it swamped and extinguished by the compelling emotion that cries out for fairness? It seems that every day of our lives we are forced to choose between two arguments of the same thing and the “battle of the sexes” is no different.
This one hour performance is a collection of original songs and skits by twin brothers Shannon and Mark McGurgan. They attempt to polarize the audience into these two above mentioned groups and then show them how completely dis-functional this really is. After all, choosing sides in a tragedy; is still a tragedy.
The battle of the sexes, the gender divide, inequality, chauvinism, call it whatever, it is your perspective. You will meet Mama and your perspective will be exposed. The question remains whether that is something you are comfortable with……..or not.
