John-Luke Roberts presides over the spinning wheel of Cabaret Impedimenta
A group of cabaret performers, stand-ups, magicians, dancers gather on stage as Cabaret Impedimenta's ringmaster, John-Luke Roberts, dressed in red jacket and very tall hat, says goodnight to the crowd.
4 performers on stage are wrapped in wrapping paper, while a dancer twirls with ribbons and a stand up tries to perform her set with the chaos behind.

Cabaret Impedimenta

Cabaret • Comedy
United Kingdom • Australian Premiere

An impossible variety show hosted by John-Luke Roberts. Cabaret performers attempt to perform while being confronted by more and more obstacles and increasingly difficult circumstances, randomly chosen by a spinning wheel. Find out if a singer can still sing with a bubble machine pointed point-blank in their face, how a professional hula hooper gets on while haunted by a Victorian ghost, if there is any point to ventriloquism when the lights are off, or if a comedian’s jokes work when the microphone is held in the mouth of the oldest audience member.The late night sensation of the Edinburgh Fringe. Guests include Mark Watson amongst others.
