Following the long running global smash success of Trash Test Dummies and Splash Test Dummies, comes Dummies Corp’s all-female circus sensation Don’t Mess with the Dummies.
The all-female comedy ensemble will take centre stage at The Pleasure Garden’s famous Big Top at Fringe World with an outrageously fun blend of circus, comedy and character that will leave your heart on your sleeve and your jaw on the floor.
Full of laughs, immersive action and plenty of surprises, the Dummies side splitting slapstick and mind-boggling stunt work will have the audience simultaneously rolling in the aisles laughing and glued to the edge of their seats.
The last seven years have seen Dummies Corp win a slew of awards and receive critical acclaim around the globe, with five years of sell out seasons at Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Past Dummies Corp productions have been likened to Cirque du Soleil and Circus Oz, and this latest adventure sees the Dummies trade in their wheelie bins and pool toys for maps, backpacks and a whole lotta foliage.
The Don’t Mess with the Dummies cast is made up of three highly-skilled, strong, funny female role models. Families will see that girls can be adventurous, daring, funny and gross, all things that are not often enough expressed as acceptable outside of feminine norms.
The show explores themes of friendship, love and support, with each Dummie taking on their own relatable role within the group: Ellen as the ‘responsible’ leader of the pack, the erratic and malleable Maya, and Shona, the excitable clown solving problems in unexpected ways. In addition, the show assists parents in demonstrating these qualities to their young boys, fostering a respect and common relation to women from a young age. Gender diverse kids benefit from seeing three people on stage, portraying strong characters, whose traits are all attributed to their skills and personalities, not just gender.
These inspiring and powerful women put on a show that caters to everyone, and is guaranteed to have you wanting more. Don’t miss out on this exceptional experience in the jungle!
The performance runs for 60 minutes with no interval.
