The buzz surrounding La Clique is such that you come to the show with high expectations. It does not disappoint. La Clique is a whirlwind of variety featuring some of the most spectacular acts to ever perform under canvas. Opera singer Ali McGregor’s moving opening performance set the tone for a show packed with delightful surprises.

Los Hermanos Macana, Argentine brothers, danced the fastest and most remarkable tango imaginable. ‘Incredible Rubberman’ Captain Frodo married sharp comedy banter with double-jointed skills, dislocating limbs to guide his body through with a 10-inch wide stringless tennis racket.

Guests The Caesar Twins drew gasps from the audience with their daring and acrobatic physical theatre. Contortionist Gula Karaeva is as beautiful as she is supple. Lena Gutschank’s aerial performance with hoops was utterly riveting.

And even when transgender stripper Bridge Markland’s clothes were removed, you could hear people asking each other ‘Is that a man or a woman?’.

All the women’s eyes were glued to muscular youngster Robert Choinka’s gymnastic display - especially when he took off his shirt. Viktoria Lapidus’ hula hooping skills were equally remarkable.

Top of the bill were the Skating Willies, a couple who rotated at enormous speed on a little ring precariously perched on the stage. When they persuaded a girl from the audience to get up on stage, lifting her and spinning her round and round, the audience was euphoric.

It was an amazing, unforgettable night - the most thrilling and exhilarating show I have seen in a decade at the fringe.
