Since the doors opened at The Highball several months ago, I have been treated to a 3D party, countless concerts and after last Friday night, I can add Carnivalesque to that list! Obviously a step outside the box for me, but a fantastic experience nonetheless.

The show incorporated elements of not only burlesque dancing, but poetry, comedy, acrobatics and so much more. The concept behind the show is quite creative: take a sexy burlesque show, but set it in a carnival-type setting.

Skits featured haunting clowns, a strong man and belly dancers with snakes. The cast included members of Smoke & Mirrors Cabaret, and although there were a couple of rough spots in their performance, they covered well and improvised comically —  much to the delight of the crowd. We, of course, managed to get some great shots from the event and they are included below. Also included is a video from the acrobatic portion of the show.
