HAVE you ever seen a man in a blonde wig, false eyelashes and towering heels writhing around in a green sparkly bikini to keep several hoola hoops circling his body at once?
If the answer is no, then you need to add Briefs to your Fringe World to do list - immediately.
It's an outrageous, mischievous, circus-infused variety show run by a troupe of scantily clad, filthy-minded (and mouthed) troupe of high-flying boylesque babes/gender offenders out to show off their acrobatic and dance skills.
Hosted by the hilarious and sassy Samoan-born drag queen, Shivannah (aka Fez Faanana), who rocks more outfit changes in a one hour show than Beyonce does in a national tour, the performance slams together equal parts breathtaking skill, flashy showmanship and side-splitting comedy.
Natano Faanana will leave your stomach in knots as he twists and twirls his way through an impressive series of aerial stunts.
Covered by little more than the silk ropes he hangs from, his traditional Samoan tattoos add an extra element of beauty to his performance.
Whether he was running around in a dress, swirling hoola hoops around his hips, or hanging from the ceiling as he performed a sensual strip tease, all eyes were on Mark "Captain Kidd" Winmill, who was crowned King of Burlesque in 2011, each time he took to the stage.
Sporting leopard skin and a moustache, resident strong man Johnny Domino also impressed as bent, twisted, ripped and lifted his way through the show.
And the oh-so-awkward Davy Gravy was hysterical in his deadpan delivery of some remarkable balancing tricks.
For those of you lucky enough to get your hands on tickets - take part in the Briefs "meat tray raffle" if you dare and don't forget to keep an eye out for Shivannah's eye-popping ending.
And if the whole "burlesque with balls" thing isn't for you, why not try your hand at some magic tricks?
Decked out in dapper Victorian threads and magnificent facial hair to match, Morgan and West: Time Travelling Magicians were eager to have their audience involved throughout their hour-long show.
Though Morgan and West were awkward at times, it suited the characters, making them all the more likable and hesitant audience members soon warmed up to them, learning there was nothing to be afraid of when invited on stage.
The amused noises and giggles were plentiful as the pair performed card tricks, impossible guessing games and baffling disappearing/appearing acts.
* Briefs continues until Feb 11, Idolize Speigeltent, Perth Cultural Centre. Limited tickets available. Morgan and West: Time Travelling Magicians continues until Feb 11, De Parade Teatro 2, Perth Cultural Centre. Fringe World continues until Feb 24.
