At once hilarious, physically astounding, outrageously cheeky, and full of highly-skilled performers, Circus Oz combines a sly sense of humor for the adults with wacky and daring antics to entertain the kids. Tumbling kangaroos, star-crossed trapeze lovers and roller disco are all a part of the show. Hosted by a firecracker of a ring mistress, and backed by the rocking sound of the live Circus Oz band, there's never a dull moment at Circus Oz.

This was an enjoyable show mostly because of the humour which added greatly to the acts. But the type of circus stunts perfomed were pretty standard and ordinary. The level of skill was not very high when compared to other world class performers. The comedy added a funny twist to the acts and that's what made the show more original and special.
