Cascade (noun): A group of hot dudes from France who can kick ass

Another fun show that I watched at the CNE was a performance by Cascade - a group of stuntmen from France who combine martial arts, dance, story and music in their show.  As they were being announced on stage, I was really surprised to find out that they were semi-finalists in last year's Britain's Got Talent.  Apparently even Simon loved them which means they were going to be good.

At first, I didn't know what to make of the slapstick comedy - the story was about a group of soldiers that were being disciplined by their superior.  There was a lot of "Who farted?" miming and banana peel slipping, which the kids in the audience loved.  When they eventually got more into the martial arts, that's when it really showed off their talents.



This is my favourite shot:


I checked out their audition for BGT, and I'm a little disappointed that they weren't shirtless for the CNE show like they are for the audition.  But think of the children, Inga.

Right.

Here's their first appearance on the show, complete with salivating female judges.
