Children are Stinky is one of the most fun and energetic shows we’ve experienced at a Fringe festival. From the moment it started, we were completely drawn in by the lively atmosphere and the infectious energy of the performers. The mix of humour, acrobatics, and audience participation had both the kids and adults in the crowd laughing and cheering along.

One of the things we loved most was how the show involved the children in the audience. Watching the little ones’ faces light up as they were invited on stage to join in the fun was priceless. Whether they were helping with props or showing off their dance moves, the kids were thrilled to be part of the action, and it added an extra layer of excitement for everyone.

The acrobatics were truly impressive. We were on the edge of our seats as the performers pulled off daring stunts, from handstands over the children to stunning aerial routines. The final act, with its intricate chair balancing, was especially memorable and left us in awe of their skill and precision.

Children are Stinky was a fantastic experience for us. The perfect blend of humour, audience interaction, and top-notch circus skills made it a highlight of our fringe. It’s easy to see why the show continues to draw crowds and win awards, it’s a must-see for families looking for a fun and unforgettable time.
