What is a cabaret act at an event?
Cabaret and burlesque performers bring old-school glamour: feathers, sparkle, live vocals and theatrical routines. At events they are tasteful and fun, pitched to your audience.
Cabaret works well in Parisian, Gatsby and under-the-sea themes, and as a short set between courses at a dinner.
