Book NowAbout 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.
