Absinthe is a live show that premiered in 2006 and is playing on the forecourt of Caesars Palace, Las Vegas,[3] after opening on April 1, 2011. Paul Carr of The Huffington Post, proclaimed "If I could only see one show my entire life," he said, "I'd want it to be that."[4] It was also called "The Greatest Show In Vegas History" by Las Vegas Weekly.[5]

The show is hosted by the character The Gazillionaire,[6] originally played by former Cirque du Soleil clown Voki Kalfayan.[7] His original assistant (2006-2015), Penny Pibbets[8] was portrayed by actress Anais Thomassian.[7] In 2015 the character Joy Jenkins was introduced, "a kewpie doll-goofy sidekick inspired by Moe of The Three Stooges."[9] Developed and played by the American clown Jet Eveleth, "who masterminds the show. Joy is truly the heart of the show."[10]
