Please help me out

I am new to all this - I have been given the task of booking a couple of performers for a new night in the midlands, I have attended a couple of burlesque nights and have realised that burlesque seems to take various forms.

From comedy /slapstick routine to a more classical style of feathers and glitz. is there a name for each type? Apologies if i seem somewhat naive my intention is not to offend I am just new to it all.

Because of the corporate nature of the night i have been asked to book more of the classical side - does this make sense?

Any help is appreciated
