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.
Winner of the Weekly Theatre Award at Adelaide Fringe Festival!
★★★★★ “For theatre lovers, it offers a new respect for athletic discipline. For sports fans, it offers something rarer. Interior life. “It bridges two worlds that too often sit apart. It celebrates excellence without irony, it sweats for its applause. Sport and art do not need to compete. In Cadel: Lungs on Legs, they come together.” The Scoop
★★★★★ "It’s an inspiring celebration of an Australian sporting hero, brought vividly to life through sweat, storytelling, and soul. A Thousand Words
★★★★★ "Feels like stepping inside Evans’ mind – a work of rare intensity, shot through with dry, unexpected humour, as it traces the memories, places and pressures that shaped him." The Guardian
★★★★ “A performance of vivid, compelling energy… a tour de force of the Tour de France.” — The Scotsman
★★★★★ “Connor Delves is magnificent and brings Cadel Evans to life in a gruelling physical performance.” — Theatre Weekly
