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.

Where it works best

  • Private parties

    Milestone birthdays with a theme.

  • Christmas parties

    A glamorous show moment.

  • Parisian themes

    The cabaret heart of the night.

  • Between courses

    A short set to lift a dinner.

  • Gatsby nights

    Roaring twenties glamour.

  • Under-the-sea

    Themed cabaret in a treasure chest or shell.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Brief us on the audience

    We tailor every routine and costume to who is in the room.

  2. 2

    Short sets work best

    One or two short sets keep energy high without stopping the night.

  3. 3

    Plan the music

    Cabaret usually brings its own tracks. We agree the cue with your DJ or AV team.

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.
