Bringing an element of silliness and stupidity to the stage, POG Circus Entertainment is sure to make you laugh, gasp and shout hurray at this weekend's family event of the year, the CQU Multicultural Fair and Open Day.

POG is an energetic circus trio with a unique style of interactive entertainment that will entertain all ages.

Fusing traditional circus skills with a refreshing splash of contemporary performance, POG tempt the palate with an exciting blend of juggling, unicycling, stiltwalking and clowning, balanced by audience participation, body percussion, and amazing feats of stupidity.

POG will introduce Griffini and Cornelis, Treble Clef, and Welcome to Planet POG, as well as other circus acts to Central Queensland crowds this weekend.

Griffini and Cornelis will juggle anything and anywhere including suitcases and all on top of tall unicycles.

Treble Clef (Clef, Clef and Clef) have formed a jazz band. Without the ability to play an instrument to save themselves, they will leave audiences as confused as they are.

On a fact-finding mission from the Planet POG, three naïve poglings observe and interact with their surroundings as best they can in Welcome to Planet POG. They feel awkward, dress strangely, move spasmodically, and rarely, if ever, speak. In their attempts to fit in, they will follow, imitate and attempt to conduct their own welcoming rituals with their fellow Earth inhabitants.

Be prepared to be entertained as POG Circus Entertainment make their first appearance at this year's Multicultural Fair.

POG will perform on the main stage at 1:30pm and 3:30pm.
