About the Show Junkfood Jim dreams of becoming a circus star. He gets his big chance when his favourite circus, The Flying Food Circus, comes to town. They need a new performer….someone with incredible tricks….but most importantly…..someone who knows all about healthy eating. That’s where Jim has a big problem, because almost everything he eats is junk food! He thinks the five food groups are chocolate, ice-cream, soft drink, lollies and chips! Jim applies to join the circus anyway and luckily for him, the ringmaster gives him a chance. However, before he is allowed to perform on stage, Jim must learn all about the five food groups and has to prove he can eat a healthy diet. He also needs to polish up his very clumsy circus tricks.

“Absolutely Fantastic! It was funny – fast moving – and educational. Everything we could have asked for!”
Carlene, Teacher, Nicolson Ave Primary, Whyalla

Join Jim as he learns about the five food groups from the colourful and daring stars of the circus; Manuél the Magical Baker, Professor Smarts the meat balancer, Doctor Dairy & Cyril the Singing Skeleton, Freda the Fruit Juggler and of the course, the incredible…..…VEGGIE-MAN.

Students are invited to perform onstage with the circus stars and to help Jim choose healthier foods. Key learning points are reinforced throughout the show by linking them with specific characters and tricks, and by having students recall their learning in order to help Jim change his diet. In effect, the circus stars teach the students….and then the students teach Jim.

Comedy, magic, circus tricks, audience participation and learning. Junkfood Jim and the Flying Food Circus has it all.
