burlesque house
Risqué performance hall
A burlesque house is a theater or club featuring burlesque shows—variety entertainment combining comedy, music, and striptease.
These venues flourished in American cities from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century, offering ribald humor and scantily clad performers: The old burlesque house on 42nd Street closed decades ago.
