60 minutesThe Street
Mar’s Market crashes into Edinburgh Fringe with a bedazzled cabaret riot. Presided over by vaudevillian diva Mar (part 1920's starlet, part unhinged queen), this is a variety show with a difference. Booked fringe acts and brave volunteers alike step into the spotlight to win her extravagant approval. Expect high drama, low blows and shameless camp, as performers strut, sing, lip-sync and overshare for glory. Chaotic, silly and joyously queer. Win the heart of our diva of discerning tastes and bask in adoration. Fail, and face the ultimate humiliation: a barrage of her tomatoes!

About the show

Mar's Market Presents: Impress the Vaudevillian is a free cabaret variety show by Mar's Market, via PBH's Free Fringe, performed at The Street. Presided over by the vaudevillian diva Mar — part nineteen-twenties starlet, part unhinged queen — this variety show invites both booked Fringe acts and brave volunteers to step into the spotlight and win her extravagant approval. Performers strut, sing, lip-sync and overshare for glory. Fail to impress and face the ultimate humiliation: a barrage of Mar's tomatoes. Chaotic, silly and joyously queer.

Why see this show?

Unscripted chaos presided over by a diva with tomatoes at the ready — this is the Fringe at its most anarchic and joyful. Perfect for an evening when you want to be surprised rather than comfortable.
