LIFE IS A ZIRQUE-US, SO ENJOY THE SHOW! The Pink Flamingo brings us two cheeky acts.

How far we’ve come since the days when our nightly entertainment options on the GC basically consisted of.. going to the movies. Now don’t get us wrong, we love over-priced popcorn as much as the next punter, but it’s good to have options.

We’ve been undergoing somewhat of a cultural revolution – nowadays we’re totally spoilt for arts and cultural events. These days, there’s more entertainment options than you can poke your theatre binoculars at.

We’ve got some brand new contenders to our thriving entertainment lineup that are so hot off the press that they’re still a little steamy. Dust off the sequins, clear the calendar and prepare to be dazzled, daaahlings – because The Pink Flamingo Spiegelclub has two brand new extravaganzas set to grace it’s stages that promise to be even more daring and boundary pushing than anything they’ve done before.

Ever since this saucy little minx of a destination shimmied its way onto Broadbeach’s nightlife scene, the only thing flowing more freely than all the s s – and in the case of the acrobatic stunts – the T s is all that champas on account of the VIP bottle service. When it comes to the Pink

Flamingo Spiegelclub, it’s not just about the show; it’s the whole experience, baby.

It’s not often we’re treated with a theatre where the surrounds are every bit as showstopping as the main event, but those glam, rt eco inspired digs are srsly worthy of a visit alone. The new show Zirque La La is more hotly anticipated than a B&E roll on a Sunday morning, replacing of the runaway success show The Glitz after its exclusive 12 month run. Bringing together a fusion of heart-stopping acrobatics, sultry burlesque, cabaret and comedy, “Zirque La La is everything you love about the circus with a special Pink Flamingo twist, packed with acrobatic and aerial abilities you must see for yourself to believe.”

With the Spiegelclub headed by a co-founder who literally ran away with the circus as a child, Sue Porrett’s lifelong dream to bring brilliant circus nostalgia to roadbeach has finally come to fruition with the launch of Zirque La La earlier this year. Jumping though all the hoops to bring us a jaw-dropping new show, the preparations for Zirque La La began with an international casting call to source some of the rarest skills from circus acts from all around the globe.

For anyone who has been known to throw their back out by simply *getting out of bed in the morning* (can relate), prepare to be thoroughly shocked and awed by these thrilling world-class acts. From hair-raising stunts by aerial artist extraordinaire Nini Storm, suspended from the ceiling by her hair alone – or in the case of the resident ‘Strong Man’ Desko Amat, by only his teeth during his mindblowing ‘dental jaw’ manoeuvres.

Another option, if you prefer your shows a little less risky and a little more risqué, straight from the streets of Paris’ Crazy Horse cabaret club vibe, Forbidden is the most sizzling, hottest show the city has ever seen. Featuring the best of acts from legendary cabaret, Forbidden consists of a series of highly aesthetic scenes by a cast of eleven classically trained, male and female dancers clad in costumes that leave little to the imagination, so, y’know more skin than Burleigh beach on a summer’s day.

Forbidden is teased as being ‘Provocative, daring, and scintillating adult entertainment for those ready to leave their inhibitions behind’, so the performers may not be the only ones breaking a sweat here guys #itsgettinghotinhere. Gather up the besties and one-and-only’s, because this show is the kind of mandatory viewing that is far saucier and sexier than any Bachelor season.

For the The Pink Flamingo Spiegelclub dream team, they believe the fun doesn’t have to stop when the sun goes down – and their mission to see the glitter strip sing after dark is quickly becoming a reality. Locals and visitors continue to flock to this theatrical wonderland for some must-see entertainment, a VIP experience and a night filled with flamboyance which also happens to be the collective term for flamingos how very fitting fun and frivolity.
