Roll up for the Footy Circus at Wonderland Spiegeltent!
STARRING Warwick Capper and Mark 'Jacko" Jackson
With Finals Fever upon us, Wonderland Spiegeltent is thrilled to present two of Aussie Rules' most memorable and colourful footy legends – Warwick Capper and Mark 'Jacko" Jackson – bringing their stand-up comedy show to the circus on Saturday, September 14, promising 'brutal, honest comedy … you will laugh your face off!"
There is no end to this dynamic duo's collective talent.
Capper, who recently graced our television screens when he made an encore appearance on Nine Network's 'The Celebrity Apprentice", was once revered for his spectacular high-flying marks.
The flamboyant full forward's penchant for wearing super-tight shorts did not ever impede his performance. The former Sydney Swans star kicked 388 goals in 124 games between 1983 and 1991, his best season being 1987, when he kicked 103 goals.
And his healthy ego never lets him down. The golden-locked, blue-eyed giant was recently quoted touting himself as --one of the most exciting, self-promoting, beautiful characters in Australian history''.
Ever the individual, Jacko's career has also made him a household name on and off the football field.
In his footy heyday, the lovable larrikin won hearts with his showy antics and football prowess, playing for a number of AFL teams including St Kilda, Melbourne, Geelong and South Fremantle. He holds the record for the most consecutive games from debut with at least one goal, which he achieved over 79 games.
In 1985, he became the most unlikely pop star, topping the Australian charts with his comedy rap-style single, 'I'm An Individual".
After his football career Jacko became notable for his television appearances, namely the Energiser and Nutri Grain commercials, along with several feature films.
Don't miss these two legends in Footy Circus, an hilarious stand-up comedy show paying tribute to the great game whilst the two crack-ups divulge their hair-raising tales.
And no circus would be complete without circus performers … a special feature will be footy-themed acts of 'daring circus delight", plus a special guest comedian MC (to be announced).
