The Pitts present... Pitt Family Circus

The Pitts are a circus family from Tasmania. Their show fuses highly skilled acrobatics with unusual juggling, bizarre contortion and off-beat humour to provide a stunning and hilarious show that reminds us of the benefits of marrying strangers …

Featuring special guest the smallest acrobat in the world....The amazing Wee Pitt! With over 15 years of experience performing in over 14 countries, in circuses, theatres and on the street, The Pitts have thrilled audiences the world over with their odd-ball sight gags, comical contortions and audience interactions. 



GARETH BAAJLAND  (Cessil Pitt)

An exceptionally likable and versatile performer, Gareth has been involved full-time with circus and street performing since the age of 12 years. In fact he's never had another job, (except once when a lady who saw him busking and paid him ten bucks to change her flat tyre). He has travelled to over 20 countries performing with: Circus Monoxide, Lunar Circus, and The Von Trolley Quartet and The Pitts.

As far as he is aware he is the only man in the world who can: juggle his own leg, balance on his head and play the five string banjo at 165 beats per minute on a black stool and train live lizards to bring people back from the dead. (not all at the same time)

GWYN BAAJLAND (Wee Pitt)

When you are born into a circus family and have been onstage since age 0, you don't have much choice except to be a marvelously skilled natural performer, otherwise you don't get fed.
