"bei" could also be an accidental truncation of "beiliegender", which means "attached".

As a less colorful variant you can also use "Theater" or "Zirkus" alone.

comment Why is the title “Friseuse” considered as inappropriate?
Manta-Witze waren in den achtziger Jahren, da fängt auch die Häufigkeit von "Friseurin" an zu steigen. Eine gewisse Trägheit ist ja bei solchen Änderungen normal.

comment Why is the title “Friseuse” considered as inappropriate?
I don't think so. If you look in Google Ngrams then the change from Masseuse to Masseurin comes later than the change from Friseuse to Friseurin.

comment How to write ordinal numbers in German?
@Tim N Without the dot it would be "eins zwei drei", so I'd rather leave out the comma. But normally this isn't an issue.

Vielleicht liegt's ja auch an den Manta-Witzen, die Freundin war immer eine Friseuse. fun-humor-witze.de/manta-witz-4-von-297-manta-witzen

comment “Befreyung”: Was there an ey→ei spelling reform?
I think the spelling frey was common all over Germany. With the help of a search engine you can even find it for Lübeck, e.g. "Der Kayserlichen freyen Reichs-Stadt Lübeck Statuta" digi.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/drwLuebeckStat1798

comment What is the best format to use when writing out dates?
Date formats with / as a separator should be eradicated. The US format is awful for its inconsistent order, and other formats with / could be confused with it.
