Cabaret is a form of entertainment featuring comedy, song, dance, and theatre, distinguished mainly by the performance venue - a restaurant or nightclub with a stage for performances and the audience sitting around the tables watching the performance. The venue itself can also be called a "cabaret".
The term is a French word for coffee-tray, used in the parisian bars and other places in which this genre was born (mainly the café-chantants).
Cabaret is also the name of a well-known Broadway musical (see Cabaret (musical)), from which a famous film was derived, with Liza Minnelli. The film has been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
