Beth Ditto the band's rotund, jiggling powerhouse of a frontwoman tore up the stage with her voice and antics. After covering Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody," Ditto stripped down to her bra and panties for LGBT anthem "Standing In The Way Of Control." Picking her wedgies and rolling around the stage, Ditto attempted to eat the microphone before ceding the stage to host Cho.

Cho's raunchy humour made her a perfect choice to host, as she kept the audience rapt while the roadies clamoured on stage between acts. Amid signature imitations of her heavily accented Chinese mother, Cho forewent the politeness of innuendo and brazenly touched on subjects such as, um, eating ass: "You have to eat it last it's like an after-dinner mint." took the stage before the sun set, launching into their maximalist goth cabaret.

Singer/pianist Amanda Palmer bashed out frenetic arpeggios on her keyboard while drummer Brian Viglione pounded his drum kit while dressed in a white nightgown. They sustained high energy throughout the set, which included "Coin Operated Boy," "Girl Anachronism" and a cover of Belgian crooner Jacques Brel's "Amsterdam." It's just a shame that most of the audience was too busy buying overpriced mid-performance beers to pay attention to the duo.

, the first "big draw" of the night, took the stage next and promised to give the audience a taste of the material from her upcoming solo release, Necessary Evil. Though the audience immediately rose to their feet to pay respect to the Blondie frontwoman, her set proved disappointing. Dressed in black with a short, frosted '80s 'do and a vapid stare, Harry recited several tracks from her new CD while completely ignoring her older material.

The new songs sounded dated and uninspired, lacking the genre-bending originality Harry is known for. It didn't come as a surprise that got a much better reception. Though the Brit dance duo looked a little cheesy on stage Vince Clarke wore a bad Andy Warhol wig and sunglasses while Andy Bell rocked a camo-print suit and a T-shirt that said "Sin With Me" their set had the aisles filled with carefree dancers.

Perhaps the beer was finally showing its effects, but the energy built up as Erasure played one dance hit after another, backed by three lively female singers. "A Little Respect," "I Could Fall In Love With You" and "I Love To Hate You" rounded out their set. After a brief intermission, Cho and friend Diana Yanez performed their own single, a song called "My Puss," in which they hurled insulting rhymes at each other's genitalia.

Sufficiently warmed up, the audience was in stitches and ready for the headliner to appear. Lauper emerged wearing a bright orange wig, above which sat a rainbow umbrella, and quickly displayed the same spunk and energy everyone remembers her for. After the first song, she took a few minutes to talk about the tour's M.

O. and commended Canada for its numerous moves to advance gay and lesbian rights. As she launched into "I Drove All Night," Lauper tore off the orange hairpiece to reveal a short purple haircut, bounced around the stage and later made her way into the far reaches of the audience.

Though she started with some lesser-known songs and one new track, Lauper satisfied the masses by saving "Time After Time," "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "True Colors" for the end of the night. And true to the tour's inclusive nature, after Lauper endured some technical difficulties and dodged some wayward giant balloons, she was joined at the conclusion of the night by the whole True Colors roster for a grand ol' singalong finale.
