What is Cabaret?

Cabaret is a form of entertainment that features a variety of live performances, including comedy, burlesque, music, dance, acrobatics and theatrical acts. Originating from iconic French venues like Le Chat Noir and Moulin Rouge in the 19th century, cabaret has captivated audiences worldwide with its daring and avant-garde shows.

A Mini Cabaret Soirée brings this rich tradition to life with a modern twist, showcasing London-based performers who blend old-world elegance with contemporary flair.
