About Comedy and Cabaret VIP
Upgrade your night to first class with the fabALICE Departure Lounge VIP Experience!
Arrive an hour early and be welcomed by our glamorous drag queen cabin crew before taking off on a pre-show adventure of bubbles, banter, and photo ops with some of the stars of the Comedy & Cabaret Spectacular.
Enjoy priority entry, exclusive meet-and-greet moments, and plenty of time to mix, mingle, and capture memories before the main event takes flight. VIP seating is arranged in tables of 10 — so arm doors, cross-dress, and prepare for takeoff with your new besties!
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.
Fasten your seatbelts, darling — this is one fabALICE flight you won’t want to miss!
