Turboshow

Do you want to:

  • see the stuntcomedian juggle with a lawnmower?
  • see the audience throwing lettuces into the lawnmower?
  • see a drilling machine drilling his teeth and arms?
  • discover mind boggling tricks and skills using ware house machines?
  • listen to Mozart played on drilling machines?

If so, make sure you see Dottore Antonio Superbuffo Caradonna's Show! On stage, the Stuntcomedian Dottor'e A. SUPERBUFFO Caradonna shows a dynamic and skilful comedy routine using genuine authenticity ranging from traditional slapstick, to magic and juggling up to nouveau vaudeville.

In the street, the Stuntcomedian climbs houses, where he then juggles on windowsills, breathes fire on balconies, chats with the people living there or jumps from one balcony to the next.

The show is packed with a weird sense of humour that his physicist's mind has gathered in more than a decade touring in showbiz. He combines the art of juggling, balancing lawn-mowers, interaction with the audience and improvisations of all kinds to a multilevel-show that can endanger your all-day-idea of what is normal.

You can see or book his 45 minutes Turboshow, either as a stage-act or more dynamically (including remote-controlled airplane-stunts and climbing houses ) as a street-act suitable for festivals. You might want to book Dottore Antonio Superbuffo as a roving act, a comic waiter, an MC or as a coordinator of special performance-events like the window-sill-ballet.

  • Duration: 45 minutes
  • Suitable for: street, theatre, cabaret, corporate events
  • Languages: German, French, English or Italian
