The barrel is brought to overflowing, the air is fattened and all screws are loosened. The “Esca-Late-Night-Show” resembles the glamorous idols of night-time television; except that here everything escalates. The male-dominated late-night business gives perfectly prepared show interludes, hair-trigger punchlines, musical numbers that bring tears to the audience's eyes and guests in dazzling costumes with brilliantly prepared answers. In short, it provides a wonderful template to break this well-built, detailed perfection. This late-night show explores the worst-case scenario. The audience is invited to plunge into the abyss together with the “Esca-Late-Night-Show”: The show must go down!
