The answer is burlesque.

Explanation:

Burlesque is a type of artistic work, ranging from literature to music, that intends to provoke laughter by making fun of a serious subject or other works of art. The word "burlesque" itself is French for "mocking".

In modern times, the term is mostly associated with cabarets and variety shows.
