Even better than the real thing: Alternative Eurovision brings together an eclectic and dazzling array of stars for one evening and you could be there.

Anna Greenwood hosts this year’s Alternative Eurovision

For the fourth year, Time Out Live’s Alternative Eurovision returns to the South Bank for another night to remember. Before the actual Eurovision the following night, one of the best cabaret line-ups of the year will each take on the hopes and dreams of their chosen country and sing for the audience’s votes.

Veteran acts like drag star Jonny Woo and the filthier-than-thou Desmond O’Connor will face off against upstarts like provocative multimedia wunderkind Alp Haydar, a quartet of burlesquers with attitude who go under the monicker of Original Street Dancers and Bryony Kimmings who may share some of the many synonyms she has for her vagina

So who will be the night’s Abba? And the night’s Jemini? And how many costume changes will MC Anna Greenwood get through this year? Only the audience can decide and, if you want to join them, we have two tickets to give away to one lucky readers.

To bag yourself the pair, you can enter the competition in three ways:

● Follow @ThisIsCabaret on Twitter and re-tweet our post about the competition

● Become our fan on Facebook and share our competition image (if you don’t become a fan we have no way of identifying you).

● E-mail win@thisiscabaret.com with the subject line COMPETITION-EUROVISION.

Choose one of the above. The competition’s deadline is 11am on Wednesday, May 15th. This Is Cabaret will choose one winner by lucky draw and contact them with details on how to redeem their prize. By submitting an entry to this competition you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and have read and accepted our Terms and Conditions.

Shorter than a UKIP speech and funnier than watching a EU budget debate, here are five brilliant Alternative Eurovision videos
