10:30am It’s a beautiful Autumn day here in Armidale and The Express will be bringing you all the action from the Armidale Show as we celebrate the best of New England.
The Grand Opening: of the 2017 Armidale Show.
Earlier: Also featuring will be a performance from the Crackup Sisters – a pair of comedic acrobats. The Express checked in with the pair while they were setting up for their show on Friday morning.
Based in Outback Queensland, S.T.RUTH and TWIGS, have been performing as the comedy duo for eight years.
“Armidale is the last run in the New England … we went to Inverell last weekend,” S.T.RUTH said.
“It was wet last weekend but this weekend looks like it’s going to be a ripper.”
The duo are trained in dance, circus, Australian stock whip cracking, knockabout acrobatics, aerial stunts and of course – comedy.
