MILKSHAKE

Everyone loves ice-cream and this act uses ice-cream in ways you’ve never imagined! A deliriously delicious dollop of circus fun, this act is cute, upbeat and highly skilled. Watch as this ‘50s inspired milkshake girl makes you a sundae to dream of, and then…performs a highly skilled balancing act with amazing flexibility, watch out, don’t spill it! Annabel will amaze you with balancing several precarious milkshakes full of ice-cream and yummy things on various parts of her body, whilst performing some extremely flexible manouvers. Yum! This act wowed audiences with its debut on the Pacific seas and is just waiting to make some ice-creams for you.

This act is 5 - 6min long. It does not require much space however most of the act takes place low to the ground so it is advisable that either the stage is raised or the audience is raked. This act can be performed on a large table. It will require a freezer (fridge at a pinch) to keep the ice-cream cold.
