How to use "Burlesquing" in context?
Burlesque comedy is a form of comedic performance that fuses elements of modern dance, circus, and cabaret. The first use of the term "burlesque" is unknown, but is thought to have originated in the 18th century. Burlesque comedy is typically performed by women in a comical or satirical manner, and typically features nudity, or minimal clothing.
Burlesque comedy predates modern vaudeville and was popular in the late 1800s. The most well-known burlesque artist of the early days was Lillie Langtry, who popularized the genre in the United States.
