Hotsy-Totsy
‘Hotsy-Totsy’ is the award-winning cabaret act with Kiwi clowns Ava O’Brien and Peggie Barnes. After years of friendship, competition, and spitting on each other’s reputations, they’re finally putting it on stage. Expect balloon animals, fortune telling flamingoes, tango, life sized chess, snails-loving-snails (sls), tears, and more. Picture two professional children’s party entertainers at their breaking points, that’s where we’re at. This is a variety show for people that like seeing a variety of skills and talents if the variety of skills and talents you like are just Ava and Peggie.
