“So bizarre and quirky you quickly question what is folly and what is genius.” ★★★★1/2 Kryztoff Review.
An assortment of vaudeville and sideshow-esque acts that can be performed in addition to Anna’s feature acts or as a series of short pieces throughout the evening. These include – banana hula, bottle walking, popper surprise, roller-skating and dance. Anna adopts a variety of characters and themes to create exciting performance vignettes. Visually enticing, humorous, full of surprises!
