As part of the campaign to save the only known fully intact Victorian music hall in the world, The Spitfire Spectacular will take the people of Glasgow back to the 1940s with a night of vaudeville, cabaret and glamour.
Some of Scotland's top performers will take to the stage for the event, with all profits going to the Britannia Panopticon Music Hall Trust.
The former music hall on Glasgow's Trongate staged some of the first ever vaudeville and burlesque shows in the 19th century, with comedian Stan Laurel of duo Laurel and Hardy making his debut there.
Burlesque sensation Missy Malone will tread the boards, while The Panopticanias from The Academy of Burlesque and Cabaret Scotland will dazzle the audience with a troupe act to Glen Miller's "In the Mood".
Glasgow's premier burlesque and cabaret troupe Vixens in Silk will be at the forefront of the benefit, taking the audience on a trip down memory lane with their comedy group routine, and Daiquiri Dusk from the Ministry of Burlesque will give the night a hint of glamour.
Hilarious entertainer Leggy Pee will also appear alongside Rhymes with Purple theatre group and gentlemanly tap dancer Will Barras.
Other acts are also scheduled to appear at the revue, compered by Florrie "Bow Wow" Bowers, a lady full of bawdy antics.
Gorgeous ambient stars from the wartime era will entertain before showtime, while the Tassel Bar will be packed with sparkly merchandise for you to buy.
