Sashay this way for an unforgettable evening of sparkle, spectacle, and sass! The Briefs Factory’s brand-new offering: BRIEFS: Jealousss, offers up a highly entertaining concoction of top-tier Burlesque, Circus and Drag, all infused with a generous dose of comedic provocation.
Masterfully hosted by the charismatic Fez Faanana, whose larger-than-life personality instantly captivated with magnetic charm, wit, and plenty of sass, Fez’s infectious energy was the perfect tonic to liven up the mid-week opening night. The cast included a vibrant ensemble of exceptionally talented performers, each offering their own unique flair to the production.
Celebrating diversity in all things, this is a true variety show that goes the extra mile to avoid repetition, ensuring the audience are surprised and entertained and always left wondering exactly what was coming next. Every act, whether drag or circus, was imbued with a cheeky burlesque flair, often leaving the audience giggling or blushing.
From breathtaking aerials in an elevated bird-cage to the skilful manipulation of the Cyr wheel, these performances left audiences in awe. The comedic elements were equally captivating, with stomach-churning sword swallowing and innovative wine-drinking tricks adding a touch of sass and humour. The dazzling fusion of drag and circus acts featured hand-balancing, aerial acrobatics, and stunning visuals.
Captain Kid, adorned in glitter and lashes (and not much else) closed out the night with a high-octane aerial performance that culminated in a spectacular finale. Each act brought its own unique twist, making for an unforgettable evening that kept the audience on the edge of their seats.
With electric energy and sensational acts, BRIEFS: Jealousss promises an unforgettable night filled with laughter, delight, and debauchery.
