Interlude
Mieux que séquence
Note from asker:
| Merci, Michael, j'avais pensé à "numéro" comme le mentionne Tony, mais si c'est le cas, il faut que je demande des explications au client. |

: intermède peut-être ?

Tony M
: On essence, one would expect the 'act' to be the 'numéro', rather than any kind of 'interlude' between the numbers.

Eliza Hall
: As Tony said. The "act" in this context is normally the artist or group of artists (e.g. band).

Sketch
Not at all sure but if described as funny and brilliant it might be this sort of stage performance
Peer comment(s):

Tony M
: Too dangerously specific, the S/T does not give us any clue as to what kind of 'entertainment' this might be.

Hence my low confidence rating, but if applicable it would sound more modern than 'divertissement'

Numéro de divertissement
Il s'agit d'une partie d'un événement ou d'un spectacle virtuel. Le mot "act" accentue ce fait. C'est pour cela que je suis allée vers votre suggestion, mais en utilisant "numéro" à la place de "séquence".
Discussion
Mais merci pour le dernier point soulevé, je n'y avais pas pensé et demanderai au client.
Bon week-end :-)
Normally, the 'entertainment act' would be whatever it is we are going to see — the band, juggler, singer, stand-up comic, or whatever. But from the curious way this is worded, it seems to make it sound like one specific 'act'. Are there any other mentions anywhere that might give a clue to 'act' here?
My other thought was that perhaps 'Entertainment Act' is actually the proper name of some specific entertainment (being a play on words)? Have you checked that out?
