A good friend is in a burlesque show soon and she invited me to see her perform. I'm not that comfortable around displays of sexuality (nothing against it in principle, I just feel weird around it) and I'm not sure what to expect. So yeah, I'm quite nervous about attending.

So a few questions; maybe someone can help me out with my unreasonable fear of the unfamiliar:
What is burlesque about? Is it about sex, or have I missed the point completely?
Have you attended a burlesque show? If so, how would you describe the experience?

Burlesque is a dancing show, kinda like a Vegas show just not nearly as overdone. I'm honestly envious of you that you're going to one. There's no stripping or anything like that, just dancing.

Honestly I'd feel more awkward about seeing a good friend in a burlesque show...

Why yes! I am British! How did you know?!
We're far too reserved for all that frilly French dancing nonsense! :p

If you're located anywhere near London, feel free to PM me and I can send you details of the event. I'd post it here, but I'm not sure what the forum rules are vis a vis advertising things.

This has helped quite a bit. Thanks guys! :)
