With its origins in nineteenth century music hall entertainment and vaudeville, Burlesque emerged as a blend of satire, performance art and adult entertainment, featuring strip tease and broad comedy acts that derived their name from the low comedy aspects of the literary genre. Neo-Burlesque (or "new burlesque") is a revival of 20th century burlesque performance. Though based on the traditional art, the new form encompasses a wider range of performance styles; Neo-burlesque acts can be anything from classic striptease to modern dance to theatrical mini-dramas to comedic mayhem. As with the earlier burlesque, neo-burlesque is more focused on the "tease" in "striptease" than the "strip." Audiences for neo-burlesque shows tend to be mixed; men, women, straight, gay, and everything in between In New York City, the popularity of the form is evident in the numerous art spaces, bars, and galleries that hold weekly burlesque shows.
