The Wau Wau Sisters’ Last Supper

 If the Wau Wau Sisters end up in hell for being sacrilegious, well I’ll be there with them. So will you if you’re reading this!

If the Wau Wau Sisters end up in hell for being sacrilegious, well I’ll be there with them. So will you if you’re reading this – and the good folk who got in upstairs because the thought of going down on God or their sister was too much for their sensibilities will be looking for a loophole that gets them down below for the fun.
At The Wau Wau Sister’s Last Supper in the holy temple of the Speigel, I had my first communion wafer in many years – from a scantily clad schoolgirl with glittery stigmata. I felt almost pious. So much that I was almost jealous that one sister had Jesus coming in her room.
As the sisters say, they’re not dirty; they’re fucking filthy. Filthy meaning fucking hilarious, sexy as all-go-get and so taught and bendy that you really want to take them home to play with.
The last time I sat at the temple of Wau Wau, I thought their awesome acrobatics outshone their comedy and am thrilled to say that The Last Supper leaves me choking on such a statement. Their material is now as tight as their abs, but feels as free as their onstage morals. Throw in one of the best double trapeze acts around and audience participation that left reluctant participants dancing, there’s no wonder they now sell out wherever they go.
And, where can we get those Fuck Yeah undies? For information: www.spiegel.theartscentre.com.au
