In August 1808 it appears a pupil of Astley's appeared at various  Cape Town theatres, making birdcalls and doing some tumbling acts. Eventually in 1840** former members of '''Astley’s Circus''' established their own professional circus under the same name.  During 1840 and 1841 they charmed audiences, especially the Malays, with extravagant equestrian shows and short plays. They were apparently the only purely professional theatrical company recorded in the Cape during 1840 and 1841. In 1840 they also collaborated with the musical company [[Harmonie en Eendragt]] ("Harmony and Unity").
