| These are the Artists confirmed for the 2011 Festival. Stay tuned for more! | |
 | MARIO QUEEN OF THE CIRCUS – USA Mario is the creation and alter ego of Clarke McFarlane, a New Jersey-born and New York City-schooled performer. A born showman and expert in both circus artistry and comedy, the Latin lothario's hilarious show has wooed audiences all over the world. His unique mix of complex juggling tricks and universal sex appeal can only find release in the arena-rocking anthems of his favourite supergroup, Queen. |
 | REUBEN DOT DOT DOT - UK International acrobat extrordinaire, this man's moves are mind boggling! |
 | SHIRLEE SUNFLOWER - UK Our favourite lunatic in frilly yellow knickers returns from the UK to tickle your funnybone. |
 | PANCHO SANDOVAL LOPEZ - MEXICO Sensational world class acrobat & fire artist. Don't miss one second of this act! |
 | PATRICK McCULLAGH - International Our favourite Irish funnyman will act as MC for the prestigious opening night Dinner Show and will spice up the comedy nights. |
 | VAUGHAN KING - NZ One of the most accomplished NZ comedians, we saw Vaughan at the World Buskers and Comedy shows and we just had to have him. |
 | KIKI AND PASCAL - UK Slapstick comedy and boy meets girl rivalry. Each of these characters has a mind of their own and anything can happen on stage. |
 | JAIMI THE MASKED MIME - Melbourne Beautiful and silent Jaimi is a delight to watch. Currently studying circus arts in Melbourne, Jaimi was runnerup in Brisbane's Busking by the Bay in 2010. |
 | STREET CIRCUS - Canada Daniel and Kimberley are the ultimate cute couple. Accomplished acrobats, kind of like the William and Kate of the circus world. Bound to be a hit with kids and families. |
 | DR RHYTHM - Brisbane Dr Rhythm can do just about anything with his mouth! Beatboxing Dr Rhythm is the winner of the Busking By The Bay (Brisbane) competition. |
 | ACRO CLOWN – Australia
We first met Acro Clown at the Surfers Paradise Street Performers Championship where he picked up second place. What struck organisers however was his uncanny knack of just getting to the heart of most people’s funny bone and as he plies his trade from a suitcase on a skateboard. Acro Clown is an acrobatic clown with a wicked sense of humour. |
 | VICTOR - Argentina
with all the energy of a Soccer World Cup match and an act to match, Victor will have the ladies in a lather. |
 | TOM RICHARDSON - Australia Original Infectious Roots Music |
 | KEOGH - Australia In a KEOGH show, you'll find that creativity, inventiveness and craziness lead the way. Playing a healthy mixture of Blues & Roots, Rock and Funk music, KEOGH performs a vibrant and entertaining set using his strong deep voice, interesting guitars, percussion, and the Yirdaki (didgeridoo). Sprinkle in a little wacky humour, and you have KEOGH! With original songs reflecting his views of society, human rights, and a love of the natural world, KEOGH will leave thinking and groovin’. |
