Christmas Party

Looking for some inspiration from you creative chaps and chapesses.
We are looking for an attraction for our office Christmas party. Something a bit different. We had a giant snow globe last year which made for some nice photos but this year I want something a bit different. I was considering something like Duelling Waiters (don't want to spoil it but if you've seen it, it's very entertaining) or some form of "act" but wondered if anyone on here had any suggestions or contacts who might be able to come up with some cool ideas. (Duelling waiters are great but cost more than £2,500 which is a little bit steep imo)
It's black tie so we can't really do bucking bronco's or anything like that. We also take care of the bar so nothing essentially alcohol related.
Over to you good folk

Instead of a gimmick pay for everyone to hire black tie dress.
Cant stand it when you get a 'we are treating you to a party, but you have got to shell out for the dress code we have chosen' party.3 -

close up magician and/or portrait artist
And before someone else says it
"will Tony Cahones be there"
"Must be doing well out of training ground project then"
"Can you give my trolling some more attention please, I'm begging you, please"

We don't enforce it but we do black tie every year. People have come to expect it (many request it). You can buy a tux for £100 nowadays as opposed to wasting £60 to hire one. We aren't expecting people to rock up in an Armani tuxedo - just to get glammed up for the night while we pay for a venue, food and drinks for all staff and their partners.

Strip club and stick the entire budget behind the bar. The next morning hold an early meeting.1

Sort of on the duelling waiters theme, real duelling with old fashioned pistols.
Entry requirement is that you must have consumed a shit load of alcohol beforehand.
Back to back, ten paces, turn and fire.
Each barrel loaded with 6 bullets so everyone can have a fair crack.
Everyone wins because the ensuing pandemonium from workmates firing shots everywhere will also keep everyone gripped/on their toes. If shots actually hit their target, this will save on the bar bill as I doubt many will want a drink after being shot. And you can even arrange for the more unpopular members of staff to stick to their ten paces but tip the wink to the other pistol packer at seven paces, thus allowing them a free shot. Not only will this cut down on the bar bill, you'll also be able to lower workforce numbers by getting rid of disliked members of staff without having to go down the often costly legal route.
Invite Roland, Kat and Big Tone.

Going there on Saturday for my annual boys booze up week (never been to Benidorm and hopefully won't ever again) if said mother and daughter duo are in town, I'll get this photo signed for you.RedChaser said:
