'HOMESTEAD SHOW'
Unlike anything seen in Australia today, the sisters invite audiences to take pleasure in the newly constructed Crackup Sister's Homestead show - new for 2011!
Performed with the interactive backdrop of The Crackup Sisters homestead set, this family friendly, highly energetic and hilarious slapstick comedy show creates true country magic for audiences of all ages.
Offering 3 different shows at the one location, audiences will never be bored and often find themselves returning to experience the next exciting installment of the crackup sister story.
The shows are hosted by the sisters S.T.Ruth and lil B-ute, and will bring along such colourful characters as their black Angus Bull Barry, their district champion agility cow Daisy, whilst playing with an 8m high wooden windmill, exploding dunny and moving pot plant!.
The Homestead show is 20-30 minutes filled with side-splitting slapstick comedy, ridiculous cartoon stunts and fun crowd interaction all delivered as only the Crackup Sisters could.
After each show audiences are invited into the homestead to come meet the girls and have photos taken. The Homestead show comes complete with it's own sound system and requires a designated area for audience and set. For more details - just email us!
