The hubby and I headed back into the city last night (after the show was cancelled last week!) to Slide Bar to catch the Pink Slipper Club. Part of the Sydney Fringe Festival, the Pink Slipper Club is a derelict cabaret of love, hate, romance and revenge. Set back stage Danica Lee plays the hostess who struggles to keep control of her cast or down and outs. Herbie (played by Herbert Peppard) is a crooner with a gambling problem. Poppy T plays the stripping star with a drinking problem. Mr. Gørski (Dan Gorski) also struggle with drink much to the frustration of his partner Missy who performs a fabulous balancing act topped off with aerial hoop and a fantastic pole routine. Kelly Ann Doll wows with a fast pace strip and tango routine and Lucious Lush Lauren LaRouge tops of the cast as an unlucky in love singer who accompanies herself on ukulele and helps herself to the audiences drinks in between numbers.
I loved the concept of the show being backstage. A show within a show as it were. The Slide Bar is a beautifully set up venue and although we didn't try the food the meals that we did see were beautifully presented and look delicious. I would definitely go back to Slide to catch a show and meal again and it was certainly worth heading back into the city to catch the Pink Slipper Club.
Slide hosts a 9 act circus show with accompanying 9 course degustation menu every Saturday night or $99. Check out there website for details of El Circo
