Melon the Human: far more skilled at circus than he appears and accompanied with dry, awkward wit. Specialising in object manipulation, Melon has left audiences around the world stunned with his juggling finesse of unique objects including the broom and cube.
Melon emerged in 2015 as a creation of Thomas Stewart, a Brisbane born secondary teacher who became a street performer. Since then, he’s taken his odd performance styles to both streets and stage all around the world.
Currently at the Pink Flamingo - Gold Coast.

Whether at a festival or on the streets, people start to gather the moment the music starts and Melon steps inside his cube. A 25-45 minute show that builds crowds and keeps them using comedy, object manipulation, flexibility and mime. Performed in English or silent with a dubstep soundtrack.
