The Naughty Little Cabaret

Rob the ringmaster has put together a burlesque show that appeals to everyone. Leave your inhibitions at the door and get ready to be entertained.

Where do I start? A group of us went to a Saturday night show not sure what to expect. Starting out with a very well dressed, classy gentleman singing live with a sultry, sexy female dancer! Then onto multiple acts with juggling by a nearly naked burlesque dancer, a hot pole dancing routine, females with incredible skills. The dancing, the music, the MC, the drag performers and the venue were amazing! I would/​will be going again. I highly recommend this show. Very mixed crowd and it was very interactive. Some crowd participation was required. A must see!

I love burlesque and they take it to the next level with amazing acrobatic performances you would see in cirque du soleil. These performers are true athletes and my friends and I were blown away act after act. The show has something for EVERYONE and the music was absolute perfection. I loved everything about this… It is very classy, sassy, and with lots on nice a#$%$. I will be back!

This was such a fun show and the cast/​staff are also friendly ! I came here for a bachelorette party and it’s worth every penny plus they have an awesome deal $ 20 to drink from 7:30 pm to 10 pm. I would recommend this place to everyone! Had such a blast here.

We booked the VIP seating for my best friends bachelorette party and to say we were impressed would be an absolute understatement. The show was mind blowing, the cast was incredible, the Emcee was hilarious and charming and everything you could ask for in a burlesque experience.
When we first bought the tickets, we were expecting mostly, if not all, women for the cast but were pleasantly surprised when there were several men as well! It’s a good time for everyone both men and women.
I could go on and on about the evening we had.
It was SO MUCH FUN! Weeks later we are STILL talking about it!
Highly recommend!!! We will definitely be back the next time we are in town!

By far this was the best cabaret show I have ever seen! Jade Sotomayor is EVERYTHING!

Had a Great time! A MUST SEE! Hot Women & Men. Was worth every dollar. The cast and crew are very hospitable & accommodating to a diverse audience. Our group was well entertained & WILL return soon.

This group delivers a professional local cast featuring burlesque and acrobatics in an adult Cirque du Soleil type performance. A must see for anyone that enjoys performance art

It was ok. Nothing to really brag about. Better off going to Batons.
Came here last night for a kick off for my pre bday celebration. The line was wrapped all the way around in a circle. Yeah. I thought. There were a couple of drunk loud mouth women. Why?
The show was to start at 8pm. Well the doormam/​emcee didn’t start letting us in until 8. How crazy? They were so not organized. The guy let us in without even checking for our groupon. I could of saved my money.
Once inside one girl showed us where to sit and gave us a free complimentary ticket shot in a plastic cup. Where they do tht at?
Anyways, the show was half decent. Some of the acts put me to sleep literally. Just plain boring. Not really enough excitement for me. I rather go to the Kit Kat Lounge in Boys Town.
The reason for giving them 3 stars is because of the emcee keeping it half way entertained.

Great show and very entertaining – the 2 hours just flew by!
Went here for Valentine’s and it’s not just great for women but also men (or couples). Love the performers and will certainly recommend for bachelorette parties or as a romantic date *wink* *wink*

This was a lot of fun!!! The show is quite tasteful yet entertaining. The tassels were a little different to see on guys, however they all knew how to work the stage and put on a show! Interesting mix of performers, alternating guy/​girl kept the performances diverse. Would definitely recommend for fun night out before hitting other hot spots nearby!

Awesome Show! One of the best shows of it’s kind outside of Las Vegas. Based on the other reviews we did not purchase VIP seats and were still seated in the second row, but there can’t be a bad seat in the house. $ 20 all you can drink beer, wine, and well drink wristband is well worth the price. Will go back every time I visit Chicago. Don’t let the thought of all the bachelorette’s deter you, it’s all part of the atmosphere, besides you have an all you can drink wristband!

This place was so much fun. I enjoyed being with the girls. If you’ve never been this is a great place to start. $ 20 wristbands gives you open bar which is perfect. Definitely would do it again.

Phenomenal show; versatile, imaginative, funny and genuine. The people here really like putting on an act and were just as engaging when we ran into a few of them on the train ride home. If you’re looking for a fun evening with friends to see a captivating spectacle, this show is definitely for you. Even if you live inside a boring little box and have no imagination, still go. Learn something, cheer for people who are the brave, talented and sensual souls you wish you could be.

What a fantastic variety show! I attended the Valentine’s Day burlesque event and was upgraded to the VIP seating section. Each performer was very talented; we got to see everything from strip tease to fire throwing and acrobatics. The venue offered open bar for $ 20 and we enjoyed dancing after the show. I would highly recommend Naughty Little Cabaret to anyone looking for a fun night out with friends or a lover.

Exceptionally talented performers — The Naughty Little Cabaret brings some of the burlesque industry’s biggest names to the stage — the Stage Door Johnnies, Sammich the Tramp, Rob «Pup» Racine, Ang Hell from Venezuela, Tila von Twirl, Lady Jack, and Eva la Feva, to name a few — in addition to some of BoysTowns’ hottest drag performers like Shea Coulée and Velicity Metropolis and other Chicago favorites like Mr. Spring, a fire performer/​contortionist. There is something for everyone in this show, and if you go you’re guaranteed to have one heck of a wild, crazy night. Highly recommended — there’s something different every week!

I went to The Naughty Little Cabaret for the second time this month and again was not disappointed. Both times were for bachelorette parties (2 weeks ago my best friends and again Saturday night for mine by request because I had such a fun time my first visit) And a few friends and I are already making plans to do another night in August.
The cabaret is located in the back of The Original Mothers, when you get there they offer you a $ 20 all you can drink wristband — do it! It’s the best deal, a bottle of Bud Light is $ 6.50 on its own (and I had more than 3). The bar area itself is pretty chill before the show (tables/​free popcorn/​a table you can play beer pong) and afterwards it became a neat karaōke type bar — the DJ was on point and we ended up coming back after a few other bars in the area because the vibe was so fun (and it doesn’t close until super late!)
Back to the show itself, when you get there one of the guys take you aside, explain some info and then seat you. The room is quite small (when ordering your tickets I suggest calling and asking for a table — you’re not super close but you can see everything) but I think it adds to making the show more intimate.
This is mainly a bachelorette type event so they do a few bits with the bachelorettes — I don’t mind this, I think its fun, and it was different each time. Just note if you’re doing a girls night out others will be spotlighted and in both times I’ve been, the audience is heavily intoxicated.
The show itself was great both times I went, and the performers were different each show so I didn’t feel like I was seeing a carbon copy the second time (which I totally wouldn’t have minded because the show is that entertaining)
Oh dear I wish I could remember the names of the acts I saw each time, I could describe some other things about them but the names I do not recall… My favorites were a guy who did Grease Lightening (hilarious and yet sexual), ALL of the drag queens were top notch, and Jimmy, how could we forget Jimmy! Allegedly Saturday was his first performance but we bought into the bit and loved every second of it. Pup, the host was awesome, he’s entertaining and quick to call out individuals who are being obnoxious (this helps with the experience because it WILL happen but he shuts it down). He’s also a REALLY good singer, we dubbed him Justin Timberlake-​esque,
After the show ended they cleaned up the space quickly and turned it into another dance area at the bar so you could hang out back there or come back out to the front for a different vibe.
110% I will be back to this show and highly recommend it for an entertaining Saturday night.

Eh. Not what I expected. First off don’t waste your money on $ 10 upgrade to front row. We were in the front row anyways, and the place is quite small.
Secondly, there were only 3 male performers and only one was hot, and the third guy wasn’t even supposed to perform but the audience badgered him into it.
Thirdly, the room was full of obnoxiously drunk, to the point of stumbling and shouting incoherently, bachelorette parties. I was part of a bachelorette party, but my group was able to act appropriately and not scream into the ears of other patrons, and it was an annoying room to be in. P. S. Drunk girl who was laying on the stage with singles hanging out of her not hot cleavage, you looked incredibly pathetic and gross.
Overall, I felt like there was a ton of potential for it to be a good show, but it wasn’t. It wasn’t worth $ 30 or the singles they encouraged you to throw towards the performers. Come on, hire some additional attractive men who can dance.

Very fun girls night out. They are located in Original Mother’s. We got there around 7:30 only to be told the doors don’t open until 8. Well the website says show starts at 8 so we were a little bummed. Good thing we brought the all you can drink wristband from Mother’s…we pregammed it and had a blast.
So onto the show. It was really good. I assume the lineup rotates, but for our show we had a burlesque dancer, drag queen, contortionist and a male pole dancer (sounds crazy, but homeboy was fine with a capital F!). You also have a host who does some singing and keeps the show moving. All of the entertainers go twice, and there’s a 15 minute intermission.
My only criticism… too many bits with the bachelorettes. We don’t need to see them twice also.
Tip: Show does not start at 8 despite what the website says. Closer to 8:30 if that. Also don’t get suckered into the VIP — first three rows my behind… there are only 4 rows total. Small venue. I wasn’t too ticked b/​c for the extra $ 10 you got a shot, however we purchased the wristband from Mother’s so that was a waste.

Amazing show! So glad I was able to catch the show. All the performers will talented, and the host, Rob, is great! Can’t wait for the next season.
