The acrobat trio Tête-bêche combines diabolo play with partner acrobatics in 3+1. Marieke Thijssen, Charlie Wheeler, and Wilko Schütz create a complex web of mesmerizing choreographies, interspersed with spectacular moments where not only the diabolo but also the acrobats fly through the air.

Harvey performs a segment from his hilarious solo Pink Boots and An Alcoholic Sock Puppet. It's a blend of quirky stand-up, heartfelt sincerity, and an abundance of pink boots, leaving you wondering if everything is going terribly wrong or exactly according to plan.
