Ultimate Chaos

With a strict policy of “No Weapons” and “Strictly No Guns” your guests will have to pass though our metal detector. With searches and body planting, your night is guaranteed to start with a laugh.
Our security guards will continue with the service as they show our guests to their seats with a seven million candle powered lamp, on the spot searches will reveal more unidentified objects.
Loud Ozzie Waiters Dirty, unhygienic and loud, the waiters blend in with the real serving staff, and help (or may be not) with the serving...they culminate in ‘inconspicuous’ cleaning of tables, glass collecting and vacuuming (you’ll never know they’re there!) a very visual and funny act… Guaranteed laughs!
You can have the Security Guards and the Waiters, or one or the other, the choice is yours. We pride ourselves on the fact that this is purely light entertainment and that none of your guests will be upset. We know when to stop!
