A That's weekly series where we ask a Shanghai-based somebody to tell us 5 Things specific to their life. This week we spoke to Cirque Le Soir, newly crowned That's Shanghai Food and Drink Awards 2014 Readers' Choice New Club of the Year, about the craziest things their smaller employees have got up...
1) "I had some dwarf schlong hanging over my ear..."
Once Jimmy was wearing some kind of tutu and he didn't have any underwear on. A member of staff ended up with him on his shoulders, and to his surprise ended up with a dwarf shlong hanging over his ear. It was sweaty. He had to shower three times afterwards.
2) "We found him doing shots and getting jiggy with a load of sexy ladies..."
We once lost a dwarf dressed as a rabbit in London. We ran around the whole club like Alice In Wonderland asking if anyone had seen a tiny rabbit. We found him doing shots and getting jiggy with a load of sexy ladies.
3) "We had an hour of panic trying to figure out where the hell our mini strongman had gone..."
We once put one of our dwarfs Aghan in taxi to meet up with the rest of the team at another venue in Shanghai. It turned out they weren't there, and we had an hour of panic trying to figure out where the hell our mini strongmen had gone.
4) "She had to explain to the poor dude she'd brought home that a dwarf jumping in your bed was kind of normal in her line of work..."
One of our old performers used to have a very open house in Dubai and everyone would pop in and say hi to her whenever. She once took a guy home and in the morning she was lying in bed with him. The door opened but she couldn't see anyone so thought it was just the wind. But then our dwarf Ravi, thinking she was alone, jumped on her bed to surprise her. She had to explain to the poor dude she'd brought home that this was kind of normal in her line of work. They ended up all having breakfast together.
5) "We once asked him if he'd be interested in his girl self and he was like, 'totally...'"
Our dwarf Jimmy hates it when he knows he's scheduled to be in drag. He shouts "No!" and protests. Strangely, once the make up is on, you can catch him pouting into the mirror, checking himself out. Andrea, our make up girl, once asked him if he'd be interested in his girl self and he was like, "Totally..."
