Let Ali McGregor, of Opera Burlesque, La Clique and Spicks and Specks, take you into a world of vaudeville skits and fancy tricks. It's late, the bar is open and the scene is set for the festival's finest comedians, burlesque dancers, sideshow acts, musicians and acrobats to collide. Variety at its best.

Hosted by Ali and assisted by her butler Saxon McAlistair (sideshow comedian Asher Treleaven), the night is littered with her unique interpretations of favourite pop classics.

A hit in Melbourne in 2007 and 2008 and Edinburgh 2007 with guests that included David O'Doherty, Sammy J, Die Roten Puntke, Adam Hills and Rima the itty-bitty bellydancer. Expect surprises, spontaneous duets and unique moments of greatness.

"For anyone eager to check out a broad and rangy selection of the Comedy Festival's top cabaret, vaudeville and stand-up acts, this late-night variety special is the best-value show in town." The Age
