Brace yourself Adelaide, because the Heavens are about to open at the Fringe: Peter & Bambi Heaven, to be exact, and they'll be raining down glitz, glamour and magic tricks in a variety spectacular that's even more overdone than this weather metaphor.
Renowned from Mudgereeba to Miami (Miami, Queensland, that is), the Gold Coast's most beloved dancing illusionists will explode into the Garden of Unearthly Delights from February 12 to March 13 to redefine entertainment with their magic-slash-variety-slash-chat show: Peter & Bambi Heaven - The Magic Inside.
Who are Peter and Bambi Heaven? Think
David Copperfield and
Claudia Schiffer... circa 1992... on a cruise ship. Now imagine them hosting a surreal variety show directed by
Christopher Guest with a little satirical help from
Amy Sedaris. Throw in some sequins, a few dance routines and some less-than-convincing wigs, and you're almost there.
Peter and Bambi are also the ridiculous creation of real-life husband and wife duo Asher Treleaven and Gypsy Wood, multi award-winning entertainers from Melbourne, Victoria. One of Australia's most critically-acclaimed comedians, Asher has been described as a "post-modern
Barry Humphries", while Gypsy is a renowned performance artist and comedian who has done strip teases for Bon Jovi, Sting and several Australian Prime Ministers.
With appearances by famous special guests like viral YouTube star Miss Teen South Carolina 2007, some shambolic magic tricks and plenty of audience participation to boot, Peter & Bambi Heaven - The Magic Inside is a hilarious spoof with a magic touch.
