INTRODUCTION:
The drag show and the sex show have had a strange relationship over the years, with not much crossover. The first is a lot more lighthearted and fun, and the second is a sex show. It's very helpful to know what you're getting into when you pay for your ticket, so it's important to be clear here and say that Jacques' Cabaret clearly falls into the first category, where you'll see a show of singing and dancing and comedy (with some dirty moments sprinkled in), all put on by men dressed as women. And now that you're properly informed, you're ready to have a wonderful time.

ABOUT:
You'll find Jacques' Cabaret perfectly located in downtown Boston, close to the Leather District (no joke). Its rather discreet exterior does a great job at hiding the hilarious and over-the-top shows inside, which run seven days a week, with two per day on the weekends. And while there are several different shows with several different performer lineups, the core components are the same. Singing (sometimes lip-syncing), dancing, a bit of mock-stripping, and a whole lot of cheeky comedy by the MCs. If the audience roast has died down over the years, these performers are single-handedly reviving it, but they do a great job at not getting too mean or nasty.
Even when audience members might be brought up on stage, it's clearly more in good fun than anything else. And you'll notice that when this happens, most of the people coming up onstage are soon-to-be brides, since the key market for Jacques' Cabaret seems to be bridal parties. Which is great for business, because they certain spend a lot of money. Reservations have to sometimes be made weeks in advances for weekend shows, and if you try to show up without one, you might be forced to sit or stand in the back. On the other hand, it can be a lot quieter on a Monday or Tuesday, but the professionalism of the performers means they'll always be putting on a good show.
