You want to take a trip to the naughty side of the Wild West? The raunchy, racy, rambunctious ride that is Atomic Saloon Show invites guests to leave inhibitions in the desert dust and boot-scoot into a world of talent, comedy and off-the-wall fun.
Cursing? It’s got that—lots of that, like real-down-and-dirty stuff that would make even Richard Pryor and George Carlin blush. Comedy? You’ll split your pants and possibly spew out your drink from laughing so hard. Talent? You’ll be up to your teeth in it.
Your host for the evening, and proprietor of the “saloon,” is Boozy Skunkton. Her bright red hair isn’t the only thing that’s fired up—her acerbic tongue seems to get her in trouble at every turn; but she has an indescribable charm. Another charmer in the show is singing cowboy Blue Jackson, who uses his guitar to serenade with the most inappropriate lyrics and dance moves.
When it comes to physical talents, the audience is treated to a grab bag of vignettes. Ever seen someone hula hoop? How about hula hooping with dozens of hoops? Aerial acts amaze with both solo and duo performances. Feats of strength push the limits, with a duo demonstrating how muscle and balance can create amazing poses. Pole dancing? Yup, that’s here, too.
The theater in the round brings to the stage some slapstick moments—one involving some demure nuns who perform some quite shocking but hysterical acts with ping pong balls. And, Boozy’s cousins perform a kind-of rap number that continually elicits laughter and applause from the audience.
The ending of this Wild West hoedown is an all-out saloon brawl with the entire cast that seems to go on forever—but at the same time you don’t want it to end.
Atomic Saloon Show should also be lauded for its venue. Getting into the theater is reminiscent of winding your way on the way to a Disneyland ride, and once you get to the main room, you’re immersed in a different world. The re-created saloon has multiple bars (you can grab specially created cocktails before and during the show), VIP booths and seating on a second level, so you can look down on all the action.
