Step right up, Airlie Beach – the circus is back in town!
Hudsons Circus is rolling in for a two-week season with its brand-new Bigger, Bolder, Better Than Ever tour, promising jaw-dropping acts, colourful characters and heart-pounding stunts that will thrill audiences from ages 2 to 102.
Celebrating 12 years on the road, Hudsons Circus has pulled out all the stops for this year’s blockbuster production. From gravity-defying aerial acts and death-defying motorbike stunts, to laugh-out-loud clowning and breathtaking displays of precision and strength – this is one show you don’t want to miss.
This year’s show is completely new featuring an international cast with artists from Ethiopia, Brazil, South Africa, Germany and more. They all bring their spectacular flair and global flavour to the ring.
“We’ve got the world’s smallest unicycle, performed by an Ethiopian artist who jumps from one unicycle to another, it’s crazy!” enthused Hudsons Circus Marketing and Promotion Manager Troy Smith.
New acts include the daring duo straps performed by stunning twins, a master sharpshooter wowing crowds with high-speed archery tricks, and a mesmerising contortionist from South America. Fan favourites are back too – including the hilarious Goldie the Clown, the ponies are back, for the first time, three magnificent camels.
Thrill-seekers will be on the edge of their seats for the Globe of Death, where three motorcycle riders spin at high speeds inside a steel sphere, it is always an adrenaline-pumping finale to the show.
After the mud and rain last year, Hudsons Circus has a new more weather-friendly location on Shute Harbour Road / Tropic Road. Organisers hope it will allow for better weather conditions.
With over two hours of nonstop action (plus time for intermission snacks!), Hudsons Circus is also a great-value night out. Tickets start at just $20 for kids, $35 for adults and family passes, makes Hudsons Circus one of the largest touring shows in Australia for great value.
Airlie Beach is the bosses favourite stop on tour.
“We love coming to Airlie,” Troy added. “This year, we’re here for two full weeks – more shows, more fun, and plenty of time for locals to come see what everyone’s raving about.”
So grab your popcorn, hold onto your hats, and prepare to be amazed – Hudsons Circus is in town!
