Paging All Pregnant Sword Swallowers

You’re needed at Spiegelworld, stat!

By Patrice Elizabeth Grell Yursik

The casting call explains it all. For the local appearance of the infamous Gazillionaire Late Nite Lounge at Spiegelworld, they’re looking for a truly crazy cast o’ characters. This includes, but isn’t limited to, dancers, martial artists, hard-core aerialists (none of that Cirque du Crap, please), pinheads, Lilliputians, pre- or post-op trannies, tall men, small women, former Olympians (gold medals only, thanks), intact hermaphrodites, drag queens and kings, fire eaters and breathers, and, yup, pregnant sword swallowers. Don’t come around with a teeny baby bump, either. They’re looking for ladies seven to nine months only. Um, WTF?

The lounge is a bawdy explosion of improv and performance art, hosted by the self-described “filthiest rich man in Hollywood.” Expect to be delighted, horrified, and let’s hope delighted again. Either way, you gotta see it to believe it. The show -- definitely for those age 18 and older -- begins at midnight.
