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.

  • Gatsby nights

    Roaring twenties glamour.

  • 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.

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.
