Time to get Greeced!

Winner of the Melbourne Fringe People's Choice Award 2022

A hedonistic dive head-first into the lives of the ancient Gods of Olympus!

Follow Cupid (the God of love), Hercules (the God of strength) and Dionysus (the God of wine) as they paint the scene of Ancient Greece and bring you to the biggest party to hit Mount Olympus since 500 BCE.

Your favourite group of comedy acrobats – the boys from Head First – take their unique mix of storytelling, circus and physical prowess to god-like proportions. Expect a bodyssey of gravity-defying stunts, true tests of heroic strength and muscularity, and surprise comic twists.
