HOT: Arrr We There Yet?!, Famous Spiegeltent, Melbourne

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Arrr We There Yet?! is a high-flying, high-energy performance by Head First Acrobats, who make a triumphant return to their home sea – er, town – of Melbourne after seasons at the Adelaide and Perth Fringe festivals.

Arrr We There Yet?! is part of the impressive family line-up for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and we are invited to review the show.

Staged at the Famous Spiegeltent at the Arts Centre Melbourne, the show encourages all the โ€œlittle fishesโ€ in the audience to embrace their inner pirate, which they do with great enthusiasm. There is slapstick, stupidity, sharks and swashbuckling aplenty.

The storyline is simple and serves simply as a seafaring vehicle for the comic and circus talents of the showโ€™s talented crew, who are all graduates of Melbourne’s National Institute of Circus Arts.

Arrr We There Yet?! has been rebooted since its initial season, so even people who think theyโ€™ve seen it before will enjoy it again. Thereโ€™s a seasickness-inducing plank, flying knives, a spooky ghost and a sleepy shark, as well as the most perfectly balanced ladder youโ€™ll ever see.

There are more bad pirate jokes than you can poke a cutlass at, but itโ€™s the acrobatics that are truly astonishing! Whether itโ€™s your first circus performance or your 21st, youโ€™ll laugh, gasp, hold your breath and laugh some more.
