Bam Wow Amazing Show!

BAM WOW Amazing Show! is guaranteed to entertain the young — and the young at heart. Featuring one of Australia’s finest jugglers, international street-theatre sensation and film star Mr Spin, this high-energy production bursts with jaw-dropping circus skills, madcap antics and kooky comedy.

Joined by his perfectly deadpan side-kick The Maestro on piano, the duo deliver a laugh-a-minute show that keeps children and adults thoroughly entertained. Dressed in matching suits and bright red socks, The Maestro provides the straight foil to Mr Spin… except when he doesn’t.

Mr Spin’s signature schtick revels in everything that can go wrong — and everything that can go gloriously right. This joyful ode to vaudeville features a relatable clothing routine for kids and parents alike, slapstick chaos with a rebellious music stand, quirky magic, a six-ball juggling saga, and even a ballet routine.

All of this builds to a breathtaking finale — whether you’re gasping with laughter or pure amazement — as Mr Spin balances high atop a zig-zag unicycle playing a mini bass, before transforming into a one-man band complete with drums, piano, accordion and trumpet.

Funny, surprising and spectacular — this show is truly BAM WOW Amazing!

Sunday 5 April - 12pm
