In a place like this, it probably will.

VAUDEVILLE CABARET CLUB

The Edinburgh Fringe's nightly cabaret showcase and dancehall afterparty
"Four stars...The most dazzlingly decadent night out that anyone could possibly want" -- Fest

ABOUT:
Catch a glimpse of the rebellious, dissident age of cabaret: the glamour of Berlin, the intimacy of Paris and the riotous atmosphere of a Chicago speakeasy. Welcome to The Vaudeville Cabaret Club: part supperclub, part show, part dancehall.

Get ready for an explosive night of circus, burlesque, comedy and music, served with an abundance of charm, poetry and wit. Be blown away by untamed gypsy klezmer punk; gasp with shocked delight at a high-flying accordion-wielding aerialist; let yourself be seduced by a daring burlesque diva; be charmed and tricked at sideshows of illusion and mysterious magic. After the Show, live bands and DJs play jazz, klezmer, gypsy, carnival, twisted pop and infectious rhythms from around the world until the dancers stop or dawn breaks. Performers and audience mix and whirl in a rush of corsets, feathers, stripes and hats.

After two stellar seasons at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, The Vaudeville Cabaret Club has become a Fringe favorite, attracting an exhibitionist, dynamic audience and glowing reviews. Exclusive Guest Appearances are revealed each night, the mood is anarchic, and The Management will allow the unexpected to occur. Leave the ordinary world behind, come in costume or in disguise...and make sure to arrive early for a stage-side table at what promises to be this year's most eclectic and outrageous festival showcase.
