floor show

Club stage performance

A floor show is live entertainment performed in the open area of a nightclub, cabaret, or restaurant rather than on a raised stage.

The term evokes mid-twentieth-century venues where patrons dined at tables surrounding performers—singers, dancers, comedians, or variety acts: The casino's floor show featured showgirls and a crooner.
