Edinburgh Fringe Festival
Caesar Twins and Friends
Assembly Rooms
Following last year's success in group cabaret La Clique, pint-sized Polish twins Pierre and Pablo return for their second Fringe with their own show. A few naff frills have been added but nothing can detract from how awesome these fresh-faced little muscle-men are.
The show combines aerial rope work, breakdance, martial arts and their piece de resistance - stunningly graceful gymnastics in a big goldfish bowl. Cheeky and sexy (their unique brand of tanned, taught muscles and peroxide blond hair attracts women and gay men alike), the twins love adding subtle sauciness, with plenty of coy winking and bare-chested rudeness among the backflips.
The most jaw-droppingly impressive moments are when they use each other as props. A clever computer game fight sequence showcases their fun side, too, as the audience is invited to whistle or clap to pick what moves they use on each other.
Ignoring their ill-advised Euro-cool wardrobe of white ripped jeans and black spray-on vests, when the boys flash an impish grin and flick up their ever-pointed toes, it is impossible to resist their charms. A thrilling, immaculate performance makes this a definite crowd-pleaser.
Until Aug 29, Assembly Rooms, Tue to Sun 6pm, £11.50 to £12.50, £10 to £11.50 concs.
