The Vaudeville Revue: Cabaret, Comedy and Burlesque

  • Comedy
  • Music

Melbourne’s most popular variety show, The Vaudeville Revue is a high-energy celebration of live performance in an intimate 60-seat theatre.

This is not a background cabaret or a nightclub experience. It’s a fast-moving, comedy-led theatrical spectacle where burlesque, circus, cabaret and sideshow collide – performed inches from your seat. With a rotating cast of performers from around Australia, regular international guests, and a strong focus on supporting Melbourne-based artists, no two shows are ever the same.

Bold, playful and full of surprises, The Vaudeville Revue rewards repeat visits and leaves audiences talking long after the curtain falls. Stay on after the show, grab a cocktail and mingle as the night rolls on.

Seats are limited and often sell out.
