'maybe tiger takes in nude show' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'tiger takes in nude show' is the wordplay.
'tiger' becomes 'cat' (I've seen this in other clues).
'takes in' indicates putting letters inside.
'nude show' becomes 'bare' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'nude' bit.).
'cat' enclosing 'bare' is 'CABARET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cabaret that I've seen before include "goes on in nightclub?" , "Entertainment at restaurant" , "Floor-show as in nightclub" , "Film set in 1931 Berlin - floor show" , "Nightclub entertainment, floor show" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
