Teehee. There are already quite a few comediennes combining physical burlesque with work on the microphone. I've always been in awe.
I'm not sure of the extent to which the piece I'm working on will fall into the 'burlesque' bracket, but it will certainly be cabaret!

It's a hard one, but if you're up for it, do it! What have you got to lose? And if you don't like it, at least you can say you've tried, hey?

Oh, I find burlesque performers can be exactly the same when it comes to pitching an act at a particular audience.
And I think you've nailed my outlook quite concisely there. I've got nothing to lose other than a little bit a dignity... and it's not like I've got much of that left, anyway! As long as I keep my feet on the ground and don't try to run before I can walk (so to speak), I don't think I can go far wrong.
