The Great Dave performs a show that is about so much more than just juggling. Maybe it is the ease with which he juggles that has us forget he is defying gravity, casually flicking 3, 4, then 5 juggling clubs from hand to hand whilst engaging the audience in a hilarious banter.

Very few performers are happy to put the destiny of the show into the hands of the audience, but with ultimate humility, The Great Dave offers the audience the chance to suggest different juggling styles—leaving him to improvise his way out of the seemingly impossible suggestions.

Finally, he ends up on a 2-metre-high unicycle juggling high above the audience's head, while making the quintessential English cup of tea—with the help of the audience, of course. I guess that's why they call him the Great Dave!?

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
