Cabaret, Drag & Burlesque

Cabaret has now taken many forms. Most of them include variety shows or modern-day vaudeville and are usually perfomed in night clubs or dance halls. The events feature singing, dancing, lip-syncing, mime, and various other types of performance art. 

Burlesque shows compared to cabaret were  performed in theatres, music halls, and other venues with separate stages for performances and in the past, burlesque shows mainly included slapstick humor, music, skits, and dancing. The experience is unique because it offers artistic striptease and beautiful models, along with glamor and flashiness. Also, burlesque is famous for its fashion style. It is instantly recognizable and includes corsets, stockings, hats, feathered clothes/accessories, extravagant and lush hairdos, etc.

Nowadays there is not much difference between the 2 genres. They are both shows, artistic performances, and entertainment. The audience usually sits at cozy tables and can order drinks or food. The main difference is that, in modern burlesque shows, you could get a corset, hat, or stocking thrown in your lap!
