I am unfamiliar with British burlesque. Does it focus more on the comedy than the striptease like American burlesque?

Hi, I just had a chat with a fellow burlesque dancer and discovered that in fact many of the American burlesque dancers at the recent London Burlesque Festival do in fact just do a general strip and follow less of a skit/plot/story line with their routines.
Isn't that interesting? I think most British Burlesque defintiely has a storyline to it to keep the audience enthralled AND to create the satire and parody...
There you go!
