Award-winning performance troupe Circus Trick Tease brings its critically acclaimed show Werk It to the Potato Shed on Saturday, July 22.

An homage to spandex, working out, tradies, the late 80s-early 90s and all things Australian, Werk It combines dazzling new acrobatic feats with comedy and pizazz.

Circus Trick Tease director and Werk It creator and performer Malia Walsh said audiences should expect to be amazed.

“It’s a jam-packed hour of acrobatic and comedy joy, it’s the love child of a spin instructor and a tradie, it’s hip-thrusting goodness to an onslaught of 90s bangers,” Walsh said.

“Circus Trick Tease specialises in unusual circus, so it’s tricks you haven’t seen before. It’s got touches of burlesque and cabaret, incredible costumes and it’s just a hell of a good night.

“Just expect that you will not stop smiling. You’ll be grinning cheek to cheek. You’ll either be laughing or your jaw will be on the floor with our acrobatic feats, it’s a guaranteed good time.”

Walsh said she couldn’t wait to bring the show to the Geelong region.

“I’m a regional producer/director, so I make shows that tour for regional, small venues because I think that’s where the heart of Australia is,” she said.

“It’s nice to perform in these big venues around Australia but then you know I make my shows versatile so we can hit all of these really enjoyable smaller venues.

“Two of my best friends live down in Geelong so I’m going to be doing extra high kicks with them in the audience. I’ve only heard the best things about the Potato Shed, so it’s a venue and a place that I’ve been really looking forward to performing.”
