The Topp Twins

  • New Zealand’s national treasures have performed around the world as an original country-music comedy duo for 25 years. No other act has such unique cross-over appeal, and are equally at home performing in front of a gay/lesbian audience or at the rugby.

    • I don't know how they kept the energy up for 45 minutes. Fast talking, joke cracking, incredible acrobatics and a wonderful sense of fun- you don't have to decide between comedy and real skill anymore!!!!!!!

Daredevil Chicken Club

  • http://www.worldbuskersfestival.com/buskers/daredevil-chicken-club
  • Marc & Svetlana Buttersworth are back on their Honeymoon tour yet again to remind couples that Love Heals All Wounds. They have filled their excess baggage with Las Vegas style acts and 80's pop video melodrama that will amaze, perplex and ultimately inspire people to believe in the magic of Love.

    • Punk glam, stand-up duo Marc and Svetlana provide preposterous comic relief with wonderful stage chemistry

    A stand-out act. Truly outstanding for sheer entertainment, dazzling skills, belly laughs and bizarre entertainment.

Sam Wills - The Boy with Tape on his Face

  • http://www.worldbuskersfestival.com/buskers/sam-wills-the-boy-with-tape-on-his-face
  • Wordless, expressionless, with heart-rending poignancy that make shoes sing, empty dresses dance and electrical tape blossom into roses! Sam draws on a heritage that includes silent film, mime, magic, puppetry, Motown and the films of Patrick Swayze.
  • Open After EQ: unknown

    • Seeing this was THE highlight for me at this years buskers. Each year I go down specifically to watch the buskers... this year, I was feeling a little let down. (there are some great performers which I have seen here before... but was keen to see some knew acts). Sam was the best new thing for me. WELL WORTH the wait in the sun for a couple of hours!!

    • These men are seriously hysterical. Funny as hell. Do not miss their show.

    We were delighted to have the Max and Dagger show this year, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. They’re funny, talented, and they pull in large crowds whenever and wherever they perform. They’ve been chosen “Best Variety Performers of Kids Fringe” based on audience attendance. Backstage, you'll find that they are the real deal. True southern gentlemen who are actually as nice in person as they are onstage. How refreshing and pleasant for fans, other performers, and festival organizers alike. I only hope they'll keep returning to Winnipeg Fringe to delight new generations of Kids Fringers.

    I saw this show at the Edinburgh Fringe and it was crazy. They're really funny but the knives are the real thing. I'll admit I might have squealed. I can't believe that there are people who would do dangerous things like this but I'm glad there are because I like to watch.

Mulletman

  • Mulletman is inspired by power ballads, sports heros and the adoration of his fans. He juggles, he smirks, he bluffs, he rides a massive unicycle, he sings, he cracks his whip and wins the people over.

Yvonne Calling

  • A combination of circus and comedy served up with a good dollop of cheese, this is one Australian story not to be missed as Yvonne launches a new range of cosmetics for him, full of hula hoop, juggling, bad magic and ridiculous humour.

Vinyl Burns

  • A hit in 1972 Las Vegas, Vinyl Burns' show-biz career has dwindled and he is no longer the icon he believes himself to be (but don’t let him know that!). Although his style and grace need a bit of polishing, his charm is still top notch.

Twisty Twins

  • NZ’s most twisty circus duo (identical twin sisters) will simply wow you with their incredible acrobatic feats! Spectacular stilting, duo acrobatics, contortion, hand-balance and so much more. Together they amuse, confuse and mesmerise - turning any frown upside down.

 A fantastic show, packed with surprises and fun for everyone!

USA #1 - The World Tour of Awesome

  • The Gazillionaire and his useless assistant Penny travel the globe promoting the greatest country in the world! Rich beyond belief and with no regard for decent entertainment, they play games with the audience and encourage the decadent life-style capitalism brings... to most.

The Privy Council

  • Watch out for them zooming in the streets, singing songs in a musical circus bathroom. Gather round to see New Zealand’s own truly impressive roving bathroom! They will be roaming at scheduled times throughout the day washing themselves with bubbles and getting into dirty troubles.

The Half Naked Chef

  • The Half Naked Chef roams the world relentlessly serving up his unusual delights upon unsuspecting dinner guests. He will be cooking live and recipes are from his book ‘Burnt to a Crisp‘. Steve will have you eating out the palm of his hands, literally, as he does not have any plates!

    • UNfortunately this act was a little too weird for me... and I think for the general public.
