A night at The Vaudeville Cabaret Club is guaranteed to leave you satisfied so much more than your average clubbing experience can. Returning after a sold-out debut Fringe run, it is fast becoming a Fringe favourite with guest appearances being revealed every night on the night. Part supper club, part show, part dancehall, Vaudeville Cabaret offers a delightful dose of theatre, burlesque, circus, comedy and music, but make sure to arrive early to secure yourself a stage-side table in order to experience all the delights the night has to offer. Mikelangelo of The Black Sea Gentlemen will be going the long haul and compering the event throughout the festival, and with a four star review from The Scotsman bolstering his cause, you'll be sure to be enraptured by accordion like you've never been before.

Some acts returning this year to participate in the fun are Vaudeville Cabaret favourites Orkerstra del Sol, the gypsy punk of Luminescent Orchestrii, No Fit State Circus, Bipolar Explorer, Duo Dancian, Ophelia Bitz, Luke Wright of Aisle 16, Dusty Limits and Pluck to name but a few. When the show is over take a trip upstairs to The Cocktail Lounge or watch live bands and DJs spin everything from jazz, carnival, gypsy and 'klezmer' from all around the globe at The One O'Clock Club.

Pop your Vaudeville Cabaret cherry and try some clubbing that's a bit different. If your still hungry for more there's always the Spiegeltent on August 23 in which the Vaudeville Cabaret Club will join forces with The Dresden Dolls, before returning to their home at the Bongo Club for the afterparty! Come dressed to impress every night! [Natalie Doyle]
