West Australian

Perth people have been cordially invited to witness a night of 'absolute chaos' featuring sword swallowers, fire breathers and cabaret artists when La Clique comes to town for the first time.
The theatrical phenomenon, celebrating its 20th anniversary, features a riotous troupe performing in-your-face acts which defy the elements.
Sydney-born cabaret star Clara Fable said WA was in for a real treat when the show takes over Eve nightclub at Crown Perth.
'For someone who doesn't know too much about circus and cabaret, it's more of a lineup variety show, so you've got artists and acts from all around the world all in one place performing the best of their abilities and their own unique talents,' she said.
Fable describes herself as a 'fire-breathing vocalist' and encouraged people to get their tickets to see 'some crazy stuff'.
'We've got sword swallowers, we've got myself, fire breathers, we've got people in all backgrounds doing crazy things with their body,' she said.
'We've got a stunning soundtrack, beautiful lighting, we've got the champagne flowing and just a night of absolute chaos.
'I think that Perth honestly absolutely loves entertainment of all kinds. You know we're right across the theatre from Sister Act at the moment, and the hype around this venue at the moment has just been incredible, so I think you're gonna love it.'
Since its debut at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2004, La Clique, created by David Bates, has redefined cabaret entertainment for a new generation.
The show usually tours in its original Spiegeltent and Fable said it had been 'awesome' but an obstacle switching the show to a different venue.
After its Perth run, La Clique will perform in Auckland, Adelaide and Edinburgh.
