* The musical ''[[Gypsy]]'' is the story of Gypsy Rose Lee. She started out working in Vaudeville, but moved to Burlesque because of the better money-making opportunity; and became one of the most well known strippers of the era. The word 'ecdysiast' was coined in her honor.
* In the United States Burlesque houses were a training ground for many comedians.
* ''[[Oklahoma!]]'': "They've got a big the-ay-tur, they call it burlycue..."
* ''Top Banana'' was a 1951 musical starring comedian Phil Silvers, which featured many classic Burlesque comedy routines and conventions. It was believed to be a thinly veiled parody of Milton Berle, who, like Silvers, got his start in Burlesque before moving to television.
