Gangsters, gangs, and organized crime have a long history dating back before Hollywood and somehow tied to glamour. However, what also has a long history (some may argue, an even longer one) is the cabaret. And we do not mean THE Cabaret, the musical inspired by Christopher Isherwood’s novel “Goodbye to Berlin.”

There seems to be a connection between organized crime and cabarets. It has been hinted that many criminals used to set up shop in such places and use it as a front. But why would criminal organizations want to use such a place crowded with people as a cover? And why have so many entertainment media (televisions and films) depicted cabarets, clubs, and similar as being run by gangsters? Well, let’s find out.

When Did It All Start?

Cabarets have a rich and raunchy history. It all goes back to 15th-century France. Back then, people served wine and food on cloth-covered tables. However, modern cabarets originated in the 1880s. They were born in the bohemian neighborhood of Montmartre, Paris. Le Chat Noir was the first cabaret of its kind. There, artists, students, models, journalists, high-rollers, and prostitutes all met to seek out exotic experiences.

In those days, French cabarets influenced the emergence of many similar venues in Europe and America. They were full of music, entertainment, but also satire, political commentary, and exotic dancing. See top Cabarets …

You have probably heard about drag queens and shows focusing on this community. But have you ever wondered about drag culture influence in cabaret? How did it all start? Here, we will go through a brief history of this movement, and what made it so important for everyone.

How Drag May Have Started In Cabarets

Cabaret is a form of theatrical entertainment, but it usually has a more adult focus and audience. It also differs from country to country, and it is often a part of the underground movement. So how does drag fit in all of this? In the sixteenth century, women weren’t allowed to be on stage. There were no actresses at all, and men had to perform both male and female roles.

Similarly, in the Victorian era, English actresses often played men. Some would say that these are early examples of drag even before it became a …

A cabaret could be described as a relaxing, casual theater in a bar. It is often a place where the audience sits around small tables and are allowed to have drinks, chat, and even eat during the performances. This is the bar aspect of a cabaret. You would not do such things during a live theater performance unless you were riddled with disrespect. The theater aspect …

When Life Imitates Art

This art form is quite old. It first appeared in France during the fifteenth century. Over the years, a lot of things changed, but the idea remained the same. It was all about entertainment, music, acting, and glamour.

In the U.S., cabaret incorporated elements of burlesque, drag, and striptease to create something new and unique. And as we all know, life often imitates art, and many wanted to …

We find this to be a million-dollar question. Wouldn’t it be incredible if vibrators could cure depression? We sure think so. But where is this idea even coming from? Well, masturbation makes us all feel good, so that’s our best guess.

However, the history of vibrators hides another reason behind a question like this. Namely, vibrators were invented to cure “illnesses” in women that doctors just didn’t know how to deal with. They took their time solving that mystery, so vibrators were made more to help them than to help their female patients. 

So, welcome — this article is about the strange history of vibrators, which includes some achy fingers and very sexually frustrated medieval women. Let’s find out if vibrators can be a long-term cure for depression.

Cabaret – a frivolous form of entertainment involving various musical, dance, and theatre acts being performed to an audience whilst they drink and dine – is a significant aspect of Parisian culture, which has helped to define the city’s very character. The cabaret clubs in the French capital – the Crazy Horse and Moulin Rouge, for example – are nothing short of legendary and have inspired various international artists, film-makers, and writers over the years.

It all started in November 1881, when Rodolphe Salis created what was initially called Le Cabaret Artistique, in Paris’s Montmartre district – the city’s bohemian center. It began as a sort of creative hub, where various musicians, dancers – even poets and writers, gathered to socialise, discuss their ideas and trial their pieces over a few drinks. Salis himself acted as the host and would introduce the numerous artists who gathered at his venue, …

The word “cabaret” brings with it tons of evocations, many of which are false. All that cabaret means, really, is a combination of song and storytelling; an artist able to perform as their authentic self. And as an audience member, there is usually booze involved. What could be better than that? Los Angeles, of course, has dozens of cabaret venues throughout the city at which top-tier talent from around the world will drop in for performances. Here are some of the best.

Cabaret. What does the word mean to you? Perhaps it’s Liza Minnelli in a bowler hat and suspenders. Or can-can dancers in fin-de-siècle Paris. Or a crooner in a 1950s’ New York supper club.

Perhaps it means a scene that’s preserved in aspic, a historic curiosity, a dead art form. Well, if so, it’s time to reconsider.

A cabaret revival has been throbbing in London for several years now. From the scruffy environs of the Bethnal Green Working Mens Club to the opulence of the Café de Paris near Piccadilly Circus, sizeable crowds gather most nights of the week somewhere in the capital to take in a variety show. And now the performance art has been included as a separate category on this month’s Edinburgh Fringe programme for the first time. Cabaret is no dusty tin of preserved fruit – it’s fresh, ripe and bursting with flavour.

So what is …
