cabaret act
Intimate stage show
A cabaret act is a live performance—typically singing, comedy, or burlesque—staged in an intimate venue where audiences sit at tables, often with food and drinks.
The format emphasizes direct connection between performer and audience: She's been polishing her cabaret act for months.
The term suggests something more personal and risqué than mainstream theater.
