This was originally a stage show that toured the United States back in the late seventies in an attempt to play on the nostalgia of people who who could just barely remember burlesque, or at least saw some of the old-time burlesque type acts on the Ed Sullivan show. It had some success and HBO decided to capture it on film. It was simply a filmed stage show, but for what it was supposed to be, it was pretty good. There were some songs and dances. There was some slapstick comedy. There were some baggy-pants comedians trading quips, a little off-color humor, and oggling of half naked girls. It was pretty much innocent with an occasional leer. It's fun to watch if you have a taste for old-fashioned humor, or are interested in a type of entertainment that no longer is in style.

The comedy genre refers to a category of entertainment that aims to amuse and entertain audiences by using humor, wit, and comedic situations. Comedies are created with the primary intention of eliciting laughter and providing lighthearted enjoyment. They encompass a wide range of styles, tones, and themes, appealing to various tastes and audiences.
