cabaret
noun
Cabaret is a type of entertainment that usually features a variety of performers such as singers, dancers, comedians, and other acts. It originated in France in the late 1800s and became popular in Europe and the United States in the early 1900s. Cabaret shows often take place in small, intimate venues and have a more informal atmosphere than traditional theater or music performances. The performers may interact with the audience and the shows often have a satirical or political edge.
