Overview
In a circus of comedy, music and magic, Mic Conway and Robbie Long present an hilarious array of songs to make your jaw drop, toes tap and sides split. Audiences who know Mic from "Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band" and Circus Oz will be love this incarnation: Mic as storyteller of tall tales and true. There's new songs and old close to Conway's heart. He croons "It’s Only a Paper Moon" and a mesmerising version of "Mad World", revisits Captain Matchbox classic "My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes" and Tom Lehrer's "Masochism Tango". There's magic, juggling, cavorting and that trademark tongue-in-cheek sense of humour. Stripped back, irreverent, and shameless... it's surreal vaudeville for crooning and swooning. Unforgettable!
