About Comedy and Cabaret

The crown jewel of fabALICE — the Comedy & Cabaret Spectacular is where the stars truly shine!

In 2026 we are delighted to present a super shiny star, Mel Buttle! The two-time co-host of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras (ABC), this is the brilliant MC you don't want to miss! Fearless, funny, and frank, Mel Buttle is a super star of Australian comedy. She is the genius creator behind Australia’s favourite online mum character ‘Lyn’; an award-winning stand-up comedian; a popular television and radio presenter; and the self-declared number one fan of the Matildas.

A whirlwind showcase of the very best from the fabALICE cast, this flagship event promises laughs, glamour, and jaw-dropping talent in every direction. Expect an unforgettable mix of stand-up, drag, cabaret, burlesque, and brilliant surprises, where anything can (and probably will) happen.

A little bit sexy, a lot funny, and always fabulously shiny — it’s a live extravaganza like no other and the ultimate fabALICE night out!
