burlesque club

Risqué performance hall

A burlesque club is a venue featuring burlesque performances—theatrical shows combining striptease, comedy, and elaborate costumes.

Modern burlesque clubs often present neo-burlesque, which emphasizes artistic expression and vintage glamour over explicit nudity: We caught a show at the burlesque club downtown.

The atmosphere tends toward cabaret-style seating with a stage for performers.
