After a triumphant season at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2009, the cult, late night variety show returns to the Melbourne town Hall during the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Let Ali McGregor, of La Clique and The Opera Burlesque, 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 stand-up comedians, burlesque dancers, sideshow acts, musicians and acrobats to collide. Variety at it’s best.
