Full Script
Documentary episode. Louis Biggs, circus and burlesque performer from Australia:
I'm Louis Biggs. I'm a circus, burlesque, and cabaret performer. I do yoyo manipulation. Everyone knows the yoyo, the toy. But it gets a lot more complicated when you're using other parts of your body.
[Less than a month after arriving in Las Vegas, Louis learns that the show he was hired for, OPM, is closing.]
Shannon, resident director: I think we are going to have another opportunity for you at the Atomic Saloon. Spiegel World's Atomic Saloon show is also playing just down the strip. They are looking for a mayor, and I think we need to do a little bit of reconfiguring with your act to make it work for Atomic. That will be great for you.
[Three weeks of rehearsal follow: act creation from scratch, costume fitting, fight choreography with the in-house team, and lighting design for his yoyo finale.]
Louie during rehearsal: Shannon's great. She did give me some comforting words. The main thing she said was that I'm going to be doing this act two times a day for the next seven months, so I need to like it. It needs to be good for me.
[On debut night:]
Louie: It's my debut. Hopefully it's gonna be good.
