Thinking about it again, the odd floor spot of smut/music-hall would probably be perfectly acceptable in most folk clubs, provided that it's properly rehearsed and well presented. A whole evening of such material wouldn't be to my taste, but then again, I wouldn't be likely to find myself there by accident. If it was to be a guest appearance taking up a large proportion of the evening, it would be advertised for what it was, and people could decide whether to attend or not. It would be up to the club organisers to decide whether this was an act they wanted to book, and people would know what they were coming to hear. So either way, I don't really see a problem.
