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
Gatsby nights
Roaring twenties glamour.
Parisian themes
The cabaret heart of the night.
Christmas parties
A glamorous show moment.
Between courses
A short set to lift a dinner.
Private parties
Milestone birthdays with a theme.
Under-the-sea
Themed cabaret in a treasure chest or shell.
Tips from our team
- 1
Short sets work best
One or two short sets keep energy high without stopping the night.
- 2
Plan the music
Cabaret usually brings its own tracks. We agree the cue with your DJ or AV team.
- 3
Brief us on the audience
We tailor every routine and costume to who is in the room.

Do venues around Watford have rules for performers?
Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.
How much do burlesque and cabaret acts cost in Watford?
There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually. Travel is part of the quote, and Watford is 16 miles north-west of central London. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.
Which postcodes around Watford do you cover?

Is burlesque suitable for a work event?
Yes, when it is pitched right. We brief the performers on your audience and keep it glamorous and tasteful.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.
Do you work with our venue and event team?
