Comedy Striptease is definitely a late-night comedy show for the books; as a late nighter, be ready for a few quick sets full of loose dirty jokes with vivid imagery.
Tucked into the upstairs corner at Universal Bar, with the music pumping below you, it sets the scene for a late-night of sexy comedians with some very filthy jokes. The show started with a great MC who got the laughs rolling with a few well-timed jokes to loosen up the crowd. She might have also picked on a few audience members; beware sitting in the front row if you are not ready to answer a few questions about either your date sitting next to you or maybe even your love life.
The show has a fun, quick premise with three comedians on for 15 minutes each, with the MC keeping the good vibes up between sets. They covered it all from tender date fails to having been married to a bikie; it's a good mix of relatable stories that will reach people in the audience and give everyone a good laugh.
I will have to say, it's a good thing the bar is right next to the performance in order to prepare you for the hilarity of what the comedians would call a striptease. At the end of the show, the crowd gets to choose who has to strip; we had the honour or two out of the three comedians putting on a little show, and audience participation is most definitely encouraged. One audience member even got a bit of a lapdance... a chair might have been broken in the process.
Overall for the fun vibes, a rating of 3.5 Stars - it's a fun night and one that will have you laughing and talking to your friends about for days to come.
