There is something unnerving yet strangely arousing about the red rubber dress which clings to Miss Behaves' voluptuous curves.
Thankfully you don't get too long to indulge in your fetish moment because pretty quickly you're reassembling your jaw as she slides the sharp steel leg of a table down her throat!
A feat even more amazing when you consider the fact disclosed by a fellow performer that she is allergic to metal.
One nick of her tonsils and Miss Behave could potentially become death by Miss Adventure.
Although death-defying in her own special way, the sassy sword-swallower is only one of an ensemble cast of spectacular and sultry circus stars.
There is also the lush and evocative French/Irish chanteuse Camille O'Sullivan whose performance is deliciously intoxicating.
Acrobatic duo The English Gents perform a mind-boggling balancing act with a cheeky twist and the hip-sizzling hula girl appears boneless as she effortlessly contorts her body through whirling hoops.
A stunning finale sees a gorgeous, half-naked man performing an aerial ballet over a bath tub.
Combining the traditions of Vaudeville and Music Hall with Berliner Kabarett, La Clique is sexy, exciting and wonderfully original.
The confident, eccentric and exceptionally talented cast deliver a non-stop, action-packed show of sheer brilliance.
What makes the experience even more magical is the Spiegeltent itself with its wooden booths, mirrored pillars and kaleidoscope of brightly coloured canopies.
It's like being transported to a different world where inhibitions are left at the door and decadence flows freely.
If you see only one show during the festival make sure it's La Clique. It will leave your cheeks blushed, your insides tingling and your imagination, well, a little frisky!
