The Vaudeville Revue: Cabaret, Comedy and Burlesque

  • Comedy
  • Music

Looking for a night out that’s uniquely Melbourne? This is it.

The Vaudeville Revue is a must-see for visitors and locals alike – a captivating 18+ variety show blending cabaret, circus, burlesque, sideshow stunts and comedy, all on one vibrant stage. With a rotating cast of Melbourne and Australia’s best live performers, it’s the perfect way to soak up the city’s creative energy.

Hosted in an intimate theatre inside a beautifully restored 1850s maritime building, the venue offers charm, history, and plenty of surprises. Once a ship’s chandler supplying vessels along the Yarra, it now sets the scene for unforgettable nights of entertainment. Ask the staff about its colourful past while you enjoy a drink.

Performance note: some shows may contain partial nudity.
