## Head to head

### Acrobatics

Our pick: Absinthe. Absinthe's acts are the stronger of the two, performed on a tiny round stage with the audience wrapped right around it. Atomic Saloon has good variety acts, but they share the bill with a lot more scripted comedy.

### Comedy

Too close to call. Both are filthy. Absinthe's humour comes from a host working the crowd between acts; Atomic Saloon is closer to a sketch comedy with a cast of characters and a loose plot. Pick by which format you prefer.

### Value

Our pick: Atomic Saloon Show. Atomic Saloon Show usually lists the lower starting price, and the room is small enough that there are few bad seats.

## Choose Absinthe if…

World-class acrobats on a tiny round stage, inches from the front row, stitched together by a host whose comedy is gleefully filthy.

- You want acrobatics so close you can see the performers breathe.
- Crude, no-limits comedy sounds like a good night rather than a risk.
- You would rather be in a packed tent than a grand theatre.

Think twice if: Anyone in your group is easily offended, or dreads being picked on from the stage.

## Choose Atomic Saloon Show if…

A bawdy Wild West comedy with variety acts, set in a working saloon small enough that the whole room is part of the show.

- You want a loose, drink-in-hand comedy night more than jaw-dropping stunts.
- A smaller room and a lower starting price appeal.
- You have already seen Absinthe and want something in the same spirit.

Think twice if: You want the biggest acrobatic acts; the comedy leads here.
