CADEL: Lungs on Legs

SATURDAY 28 MARCH, 7:30PM

Anant Das, Connor Delves & Ali Welburn present: CADEL: Lungs on Legs

From down under to the top of the podium, Cadel: Lungs on Legs tells the riveting true story of Cadel Evans — the first and only Australian to win the Tour de France. This electrifying live performance charts Evans’ extraordinary life journey to become one of the most formidable endurance athletes in the world, capturing the relentless determination behind a historic victory.

Fresh from a sold-out, award-winning season at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe and sold-out seasons in Geelong and Perth, Connor Delves delivers a powerhouse solo performance that places audiences squarely in the cycling saddle. Pedalling live on the very bike Evans rode to Tour de France victory, Delves fuses grit, story - telling and heart - pounding energy in a breathtaking theatrical ride.

More than a sports story, this is a high-octane tribute to endurance, ambition and the uniquely Australian spirit of perseverance.

REVIEWS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“At the centre is Delves. Whose performance captures Evans’ awkwardness and resilience without slipping into caricature, puncturing the intensity with dry, often hilarious aspects. Legendary Tour de France commentator Phil Liggett, who saw the show in Edinburgh, summed it up simply: Delves is Evans on stage.” - The Guardian (Australia)

“Connor Delves is magnificent and brings Cadel Evans to life in a gruelling physical performance.” - Theatre Weekly

“Heart pumping, exhilarating - the easiest 5 stars I’ve ever awarded -this is the best thing I’ve seen in 24 years of the fringe! - My Cultural Life

“A performance of vivid, compelling energy... a tour de force of the Tour de France.” - The Scotsman
