Late Night Cabaret
460 N 9th STREET • 21 AND OVER • NO COVER • PRE-SHOWS START AT 9:30PM
The infamous Philadelphia Live Arts and Philly Fringe LATE NIGHT CABARET is hosted by some of the craziest critters on the Philly art and music scene. Come on down to our luxurious new location, CLUB POLARIS, (formerly known as the Starlight Ballroom), grab a beer, and mix it up with the artists, techies, drag queens, hillbillies, and hipsters who come here to party after the shows.
Each evening we’ll start you off with a preshow event which will feature an astonishing mix of show-stopping puppet violence, super-villains, killer-robots and other crowd-pleasing spectacles. Then, we hand over our audiences to the fiendish clutches of…the host! Drawn from around the world of showbiz, these masters of their domains will make you laugh, shout, and frolic about the ballroom. Among these hobgoblins and funnymen you’ll find the likes of Greg Giovanni, Madi Distefano, Lee Etzold, Ish Klein, Corn Mo and everyone’s friend Fergie!
