Mario: Queen of the Circus (USA)

A born showman and expert in both circus artistry and comedy, Mario comes brimming with unbridled passion. The Latin lothario's hilarious full-length show and irresistible variety numbers have wooed audiences all over the world. Mario's unique mix of complex juggling tricks and universal sex appeal can only find release in the arena-rocking anthems of his favourite supergroup, Queen.

Mario is the creation and alter ego of Clarke McFarlane, a New Jersey-born and New York City-schooled performer. First developed for the Off-Broadway hit Planet Banana, the character of Mario went solo in 2005 with his outdoor international festival show. Mario: Queen Of The Circus quickly became a festival favourite and has toured solidly since its inception.

Mario: Queen of the Circus is now a regular cast member in the Olivier Award winning show La Clique, a modern cabaret and variety show that ran for 9 month last year in London's West End and has recently performed in Le Bobino in Paris.
