I didn't realize Absinthe had been running since 2006!!!

John also warned me it would be very crude humor. "Crude" however was an understatement. At it's core the show is a parody of Cirque de Soleil with very impressive acrobatics and other stunts. Intermixed is a pseudo-vaudeville style show with the host dressed in a sleazy salesman outfit and referred to as The Gazillionaire and his assistant/sidekick Penny Pibbets.

I laughed, I cried laughing and was amazed by the stunts. Just glad we didn't sit in the front row, that's apparently where they pick all the audience members for on-stage abuse.
