Adelaide Fringe: The Syndicate

Three performers, each with their unique style and ‘gifts’ present a series of tricks, dances and death-defying stunts, to name just a few: mind reading, burlesque (with a pinch), sword-swallowing, bed of nails, escape artist and contortion.

Captain Ruin as the ring-leader commands the audience, but it’s sexy Bam Bam who steals the show, particularly for the males in the audience, and the cream burlesque act was a little bit sex and a whole lotta wrong combined!

It’s late-night fun for audiences who want to keep the party going with a taste of fringe-freakishness.
