Lassú: Cosmic Cabaret - Cheeky Circus Fun

0:00From the Daily News Now Network, this is Adelaide News Today. Lassou, Cosmic Averay brings Riscay Circus Fun to the Adelaide Fringe, blending songs, strutting dancers, and classic acts like aerial spins and fire-eating. Created by Circus Veteran Merrick Ashton and director Mitchell Woodcock, the show unfolds in a custom tent styled as a western saloon on the galaxies. Edge, its pack with skill performances, including a standout body balloon routine that steals the spotlight. The production kicks off with a strong belting number and keeps the energy high through tandem balancing and slack wire walking. A cowboy clown named Rusty pops up often to tie things together, while light audience participation keeps things lively without overwhelming anyone. Later, a guide character named Irwin explains the loose story about hunting a Golden Lassou, though that segment drags a bit. Fans of Fringe Cabaret's will find plenty to enjoy here, with his professional polish and other worldly theme setting a playful vibe.

The venue at Light Square offers a cozy setup with solid bar service and clear views for most seats, but the smaller space limits bigger stunts. Compared to larger tents, tickets run on the pricier side for this year's festival raising questions about whether premium seats are worth the extra cost. Overall, Lassou delivers a solid night of entertainment in a crowded genre, but it sticks close to familiar formulas without pushing boundaries, despite its talented team. If you're into cheeky circus vibes, it's worth checking out before the Fringe wraps up. Special thanks to our sponsor for supporting this episode. No need to switch positions.
