The Circus is in town and it is action packed
By Samantha Elley
Put your expectations away and open your mind to the ‘edge of your seat’ experience you will be in for when you go to see The Circus in Coffs Harbour.
“We are a seventh generation circus family, originally from Germany,” said tour manager and matriarch, Marie Weber.
“We bring acts that have never been seen under the big top in Australia before.
“These include FMX (freestyle) riders, the splitting globe of death, comedians, aerialists and even a human cannonball.”
Patriarch, Harry Weber, has been involved in the circus touring life for the past 40 years and the family are excited to be in Australia.
“We have been touring in New Zealand, South Africa, Korea and other international areas,” said Marie.
That’s no mean feat with a family of eight children who have all grown up with the circus.
“We have performers from all walks of life,” said Marie.
“There are about 40 crew and performers, including those travelling with families.”
Marie said they are all like one big happy family, especially when they have been working so closely together for so long.
“Most of us have been working together for more than 10 years,” she said.
The Circus has just wound up six shows at Lismore Showgrounds and is now heading to Coffs Harbour where they have a giveaway on their Facebook page ‘Weber Bros Entertainment’ for two VIP packages and 10 double passes to their shows.
They will be performing their action packed shows at Coffs Harbour Showground between June 6th – 16th.
