Perestroika, a cabaret club in Grand Theft Auto IV, features a total of four different acts, two of which will be shown each time the player watches the club's show. The acts that show up in each show are fixed in sequence and order. All in all, a total of six different shows can be played before they are looped. The quality of the acts vary between each of the performers, and at least one act is depicted to be plagued by problems.

The performers do not appear outside the realms of the shows, and are only seen within Perestroika.

List of acts

Image Name Description
File:The Incredible Kleinman (GTA4).jpg The Incredible Kleinman A magician who entertains the audience by cheating death, with his "lovely assistant" Laurel, who he implies is his ex-lover.

He is seen in many acts but fails each stunt as he gets either seriously injured or apparently killed like getting stabbed inside the black box and set on fire by Laurel, shot through the head by a Pistol, his left hand nearly severed with a guillotine, and cut in half by a table saw. He even "accidentally" stabbed his assistant by throwing a knife into her shoulder. He claims he was distracted by the thought of "that filthy stagehand [his assistant was] trolloping with." When his first act shown, a levitation stunt, went wrong, he claims to have accidentally turned her quadrapeligic. (The announcer tries to calm the audience, saying he's "sure she's only parapeligic.")

His "cheating death" acts did not go very well as the audience becomes frightened. It is unknown how he keeps performing acts even after fatal accidents, or how his assistant does after she was paralyzed.

File:Bluesy St. John (GTA4).jpg Bluesy St. John Southern blues singer who sings about being abused as a child, having a sex change, loosing her baby child to aliens (even though she claims to of had a sex change) and a variety of other personal problems. Though it is not much of an entertainment, many audience members finds this female singer amusing and quite attractive.
File:Catch (GTA4).jpg "Catch" An ordinary juggler dressed in a jester costume with varying, yet ordinary juggling acts, like juggling knives and solid concrete blocks (in blue), against a medieval backdrop. Despite lacking anything outstanding, Catch will still be applauded by the audience as he closes his act.
File:Dusty Cowpoke (GTA4).jpg Dusty Cowpoke A performance artist who jumps and rolls around mimicking the movements of a cowboy in a shootout, and uses his hands that acts like a Revolver. The theme of this show takes place in a western-style desert with a classical country music. The audience disliked his performance, most likely because his entertainment is much less appealing, and is the only act the audience will boo at. He is only seen in the first act in the game, as well as an introductory cutscene for "Final Destination".

If you listen closely to the music Dusty is preforming to, you will notice it is the exact same music hear from the Redwood Cigarettes commercial heard on the radio stations in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
