Variety shows, also known as revues, are a type of entertainment that combines music, dance, comedy, and other performances. They typically feature a variety of acts, such as singers, dancers, comedians, magicians, and acrobats. Variety shows have been popular since the early 20th century, and were especially popular in the 1950s and 1960s. Today, variety shows are still popular, but they are often seen on television rather than in live performance.
