A devilish and downright cheeky evening of outrageous cabaret, air-defying acrobatics and infectious musical revelry will transpire at 'Club Swizzle', courtesy of the most debaucherous souls in show business.
The boisterous Swizzle Boys – Daniel Catlow, Joren Dawson, DJ Garner and Ben Lewis – will shake things up behind (and on top of) a bar while showing off their testosterone-fuelled acrobatic skills. Flipping, tumbling and flirting their way through the show, these charismatic boys will pour your drinks and steal your hearts.
Rounding out the cast is an eclectic mix of sexy sirens, fierce divas and incredible entertainers with an irresistible sense of good old-fashioned showmanship.
Reigning over the chaos is New York nightlife icon, comedian and “the hardest working middle-aged man in show business”, Murray Hill. Named as one of the Top 100 most influential performers in OUT Magazine and one of the top 12 gender-bending performers in New York City by Time Out, Murray is also the premier and exclusive host for international burlesque superstar Dita Von Teese. Here are Murray's Top 5 cures to survive the silly season:
Keep going
You'll never be hungover if you keep the party going until after New Year's Eve. By the time January comes around, it'll be summer and you can recover on the beach. I've been going non-stop since Christmas 1971! Showbiz.Club Swizzle
Come back to 'Club Swizzle' for a second time. When you get up the next day, get tickets for that night. Meet me at intermission and I'll slip you something that will cure your hangover immediately.... Interpret as you will.{youtube}VsDxmkmNtIo{/youtube}
Snakes
Have a bag of Natural Confectionery Co. gummy Snakes on hand. I learned this last trip in Brisbane. Make it two, 1-pound bags of Snakes. Snakes are legal over-the-counter magic... And cure lots of things, let me tell you! Also, if you are reading this, please bring me a bag to the show.Berocca
Berocca!!! Beroccas!!! We don't have these fuzzy super power tablets in New York. Minutes after I land in Australia, I go to Coles and buy a six pack of Beroccas. I keep them backstage, and ration them out to the cast. Lots of activity in my dressing room, in more ways than one.
Giggles
Really, you gotta ask. Laughter! That's right, laughter is the best cure for a hangover (other than taking pills instead of drinking). I'll be honest with you, sometimes when I wake up with my head hurting, I go to the freezer in my fridge. I open it, cool off, and start telling jokes to the frozen peas and ice cubes. Works like a charm. Showbiz is the answer!'Club Swizzle' plays at Adelaide Festival Centre from 29 December.
