About The Revel Puck Circus and Underbelly
The Ruckus is a circus cabaret from The Revel Puck Circus and Underbelly, performed at The Beauty as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Nancy, played by acrobatic clown Arielle Lauzon, is new to town and catastrophically behind schedule, scrambling to throw the perfect party with the help and hindrance of her wildly talented but chaotic friends. The show combines joyous absurdity with world-class circus skills, including charismatic clowning, high-heeled treadmilling, Cyr wheel spins, and dazzling stunts from performers with Cirque du Soleil experience. The show runs for 60 minutes, is suitable for ages 5 and over, and has no content warnings.
Why see this show?
Circus cabaret with a proper narrative — Nancy's doomed attempt to throw the perfect party drives everything, giving the spectacular acrobatics and clowning real emotional stakes. Suitable from age 5 upward, this is a genuinely joyful 60 minutes at The Beauty for mixed-age audiences.
