stage performer

Live show artist

A stage performer is someone who entertains a live audience in a theater, concert hall, or similar venue—actors, musicians, dancers, comedians, magicians.

The term emphasizes the live, in-person element of performance as distinct from film, television, or recorded media: She's been a stage performer for twenty years.
