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

Under-the-sea
Themed cabaret in a treasure chest or shell.
Christmas parties
A glamorous show moment.
Between courses
A short set to lift a dinner.
Parisian themes
The cabaret heart of the night.
Private parties
Milestone birthdays with a theme.
Gatsby nights
Roaring twenties glamour.

Tips from our team

1
Short sets work best
One or two short sets keep energy high without stopping the night.
2
Brief us on the audience
We tailor every routine and costume to who is in the room.
3
Plan the music
Cabaret usually brings its own tracks. We agree the cue with your DJ or AV team.
