Step into 1969. The cameras are rolling. The stakes are high. And late-night legend Tabitha Booth is about to go out with a bang - whether she likes it or not.

The final episode of The Booth Variety Spectacular & Formal Apology Hour was an Australian television disaster for the ages. Now, you’re invited to be part of the live studio audience as comedy chaos unfolds in this immersive theatrical variety show.

Join unhinged and unmedicated silver-screen darling Tabitha Booth (Frankie McNair – Thank God You’re Here, Best Newcomer MICF 2022) as she fights to keep her crown as 'Queen of Late-Night' from the overly eager fresh-faced compare Isaac Haigh (Best Newcomer MICF 2023). Will Tabitha bow out gracefully, or will she self-sabotage her own farewell to cling to the spotlight forever?

Best Newcomers Frankie McNair and Isaac Haigh combine forces (and wigs) to bring you an immersive alt-comedy spectacular packed with vintage variety-show charm, Hollywood glam, on-air breakdowns, surprise guests, and some of Melbourne’s top comedians.

It’s the niche comedy crossover no one asked for - but everyone will love! Don’t miss your chance to be part of TV history (kind of)!
