Sex, circus and sideshow from the award-winning team behind Le Freak.

Explore Elle Diablo's resume gap as she tries to 'get a real job'.

An award winning stripper, sword swallower, fire eater, and clown - she's certainly got skills, but how have they prepared her for a role in middle management?

From the award-winning team that brought you Le Freak comes "The Resume Gap", a semi-autobiographical (though legally non-incriminating) exploration of Elle Diablo's life of crime, sex, sideshow stunts, and ultimate quest for salary packaging. Can she leave it all behind and "go straight"?

Directed by Themme Fatale and starring Elle Diablo

About the Artists

Elle Diablo is an award winning sword swallower, sideshow performer, aerialist and burlesque artist. She is the co-director of Bottoms Up Dance in Naarm and co-creator and a lead performer of the sexy sideshow riot Le Freak, winner of Melbourne Fringe’s ‘Innovation in Circus’ and ‘WA Tour Ready Award’ 2023 and Adelaide Fringe 2024 ‘Best Circus’ Weekly Award.

The Resume Gap is directed by Themme Fatale, an award-winning drag artist and camp chaos clown slinging dangerous stunts and dangerous ideas with a smile. Putting the ass in "class conscious" and their body on the line, they blend drag with absurdist circus and surreal sideshow to leave you scare-oused and with an indescribable urge to unionise. Themme. Fatale presented the keynote on drag and gender for the Museum of Contemporary Arts Australia’s Sydney World Pride 2023 program.
