Kids in Adelaide Review: ★★★★★

A long standing Fringe favourite with the kids, the Dummies are back and we must say, having seen them a number of times now, they are in career best form. The packed house (and it was PACKED!) could not get enough of the 60 minutes of comedy gold from this trio. A mix of minion-style clown humour, sprinkled in with acrobatics and some music make this the perfect show for the under 12s.

Fabulously engaging and with loads of crowd interaction, the Melbourne based troupe are absolute pros at this game and this if you are worried about your little one sitting still or getting bored at a show, there is no issue with that here. No scary bits and full of fun, brightness and great vibes and in a large comfortable venue (we saw it on a hot day and it will still ideal). Must see this one.
