More Info

Every visit to the Edinburgh Fringe should now include a visit to the Circus Hub on the Meadows, where you will always find something quirky and enjoyable. Elixir is certainly something different, a hugely enjoyable acrobatic show with a decent enough story line to fill an exhilarating hour.

The three performers not only use their highly fit bodies to carry out amazing routines, they also compete for attention from the audience, and display perfect comedy timing. The interaction with the audience is excellent, nobody minds being sprayed by sweat and water by these sexy boys, and each routine tops the previous one.

Set to a fantastic soundtrack, this is an hour of exhilarating fun that astonishes and delights in equal measure. They joke that social media discussion about the show should contain the hashtag #bestshowonthefringe. They may not be far from the truth!
