Briefs

Overview

When you hear about a company called Briefs, many connotations and guesses about what it could possibly be about spring to mind. For example: maybe it’s an underwear company, or perhaps they write official documents that ‘brief’ their superiors. One guess that I certainly didn’t have is that they are a male troupe of performers that put on a half circus, half burlesque show.

However here we are, and that is what Briefs is. Touring Brisbane again after both an overseas jaunt in the United Kingdom and an award winning turn at the Melbourne Fringe Festival, the boys have whipped up a new show, Circus, that comes with plenty of festive cheer.

Renown for their cheeky performances that include both the aforementioned circus and burlesque, they are also fused with plenty of crass humour and a lot of bared flesh. Their shenanigans are so naughty in fact that they even recommend the audience be 18 years and over, making this a circus that I would like to see more and more.

Included in their troupe is the Las Vegas 2011 King of Burlesque, Mark Winmill so you can be guaranteed that the show will include all the dancing and stripping talent you desire. However be warned, the last two seasons of Briefs sold out in Brisbane, so if what you’re craving is an adults-only show of contorted (but sexy) man flesh then you should act fast.
