- The age and energy of the audience
- The venue and available performance space
- The party’s theme, era or visual style
- The desired level of guest interaction
- The timing of dinner, speeches and dancing
- Whether you want one major surprise or entertainment throughout the evening
You do not need to arrive with a complete concept. Tell us who you are celebrating and how you want the party to feel. We will recommend the strongest format.

Chicago Birthday Entertainment Options
Cabaret and Burlesque Performances
A private cabaret performance can become the moment everyone gathers around.
Choose an elegant vintage act, glamorous showgirl performance, choreographed duet or curated mini-show. The tone may be sophisticated, joyful, theatrical or playfully bold, depending on the guest of honor and audience.

Fire Performers and Sunset Finales
Fire entertainment creates a dramatic centerpiece for outdoor birthdays, backyard parties, poolside events and estate celebrations.
Options may include a concentrated solo performance, coordinated fire duo or larger visual finale. LED performers can provide a colorful alternative when live flame is not appropriate.
Fire performances require a suitable outdoor space, appropriate weather conditions and required safety provisions.

- Roaming magicians
- Living décor

Speakeasy and Roaring Twenties Parties
Invite guests into a world of secret passwords, vintage hosts, close-up magic and live cabaret.
A speakeasy birthday might include character greeters, flappers during cocktails, theatrical announcements, interactive story moments and a glamorous featured performance.
For a more immersive celebration, Vaudezilla can draw upon the theatrical world of The Pink Hotel to create a private experience around the guest of honor.
Go-Go Dancers and Party Performers
Go-go dancers bring energy to disco parties, nightclub-style celebrations and DJ-driven events without requiring the room to stop for a formal show.
Wardrobe and performance style can be coordinated with the party’s theme, colors and music.
Live Music, Magic and Specialty Acts
Depending on the event, Vaudezilla may also incorporate:
- Live musicians and vocalists
- Close-up magicians
- Specialty dancers
- Aerial performers
- Living statues
- LED performers
- Character hosts
- Themed greeters
- Variety artists
We recommend combinations that feel like one cohesive celebration instead of a collection of unrelated acts.
