Award-Winning Trash Test Dummies Return to Adelaide Fringe
‘A circus comedy like no other...’ (The Times UK)
Prepare to never look at the humble household wheelie bin in the same way again. The Trash Test Dummies return to their hometown – Melbourne – to where it all began, where the award winning show first became a huge success, a smash hit with kids (and parents).
Melbourne, prepare to be amazed and delighted with circus comedy like no other - tipped to be a highlight of this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival calendar.
Since the world premiere in 2013 (in Melbourne), Trash Test Dummies has won awards around the globe including Best Children’s Presentation at Adelaide Fringe Festival 2015 and 2016. With a slew of rave reviews and sell out hit seasons at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the show received the runners up Children’s choice award in 2016.
Three dexterous dummies will take you on a journey into their limitless imaginations, with the humble household wheelie bin as their transformational muse. With a little imagination the bins become cars, hideaway trenches, chariots, rocket ships, musical instruments and equipment for circus madness. There's music, dance and epic immersive action!
These extraordinary circus comedians, Jamie Bretman, Jack Coleman and Rowan Thomas are all graduates of Australia’s premier circus academy National Institute for Circus Arts (NICA), Dummies Corp Co-founder, CEO, Artistic Director and original Trash Test Dummies creator and performer, Jamie Bretman, says the show is often likened to a Pixar film.
