Review
A real Belgian circus tent from the turn-of-the-last-century. This summer and fall, two burlesque-circus shows promise to entertain those who are not faint-of-heart. Death-defying acrobatics are performed right in front of your face during both Absinthe and Desir. Male and female beauties abound, scantily clad, at both shows. Is there any better way to get the adrenaline pumping?

N.B. Which one you decide to attend, of course, depends on what type of person your date is. For those with more dirty minds, go see Absinthe, which is hosted by a Borat-like emcee who will do and say things you can’t even imagine! If you are more on the prudish side, the near-silent Desir is the way to go.
