From the Wikipedia article
The Windmill Theatre in Great Windmill Street, London, was a variety and revue theatre best known for its nude tableaux vivants, which began in 1932 and lasted until its reversion to a cinema in 1964. Many prominent British comedians of the post-war years started their careers at the theatre.

Background
Description
In 1930, after her husband's death, Laura Henderson bought the Palais de Luxe building and hired F. Edward Jones, an architect, to remodel the interior to a small 320-seat, two-tier (stalls and circle) theatre. Amrit Walia, the co-founder, said: "In the 1930s Laura Henderson famously broke conventions and challenged norms to create the famous institution known as the Windmill Theatre".
