Song Contest . the Almost Eurovision Experience

'Song Contest – the Almost Eurovision Experience" is a glitzy comedic musical tribute to all things we love, hate and love more about Eurovision.

Waaay over the top, interactive, sparkly, a cross between a musical comedy, a concert and a live sporting event – it will be LOUD, fast-paced and ends in a nail-biting finish.

Eleven countries compete and just like the real thing, the audience votes determines who wins at every performance.

This is a big show produced and directed by Glynn Nicholas, premiers inside the Melbourne International Comedy Festival from April 1 to May 1 at the Alex Theatre, St Kilda. Showcasing an amazing cast, celebrity cameo appearances and featuring legendary comedian Bev  Killick as Bettina Bitjakokov, the Belarusian hostess with the moistest.

As any fans of Eurovision might expect there will be drama backstage and something may not go according to plan again..
