Music hall is a type of British theatrical entertainment that was popular from the early Victorian era circa 1850 and lasting until 1960. It involved a mixture of popular songs, comedy, speciality acts and variety entertainment. The term is derived from a type of theatre or venue in which such entertainment took place. British music hall was similar to American vaudeville, featuring rousing songs and comic acts, while in the United Kingdom the term "vaudeville"' referred to more working-class types of entertainment that would have been termed "burlesque" in America.
Originating in saloon bars within public houses during the 1830s, music hall entertainment became increasingly popular with audiences, so much so, that during the 1850s, the public houses were demolished and specialized music hall theatres developed in their place. These theatres were designed chiefly so people could consume food and alcohol and smoke tobacco in the auditorium while the entertainment took place. This differed somewhat from the conventional type of theatre, which until then seated the audience in stalls with a separate bar-room. Major music halls, were based around London and included Early music halls like the Canterbury Music Hall in Lambeth, Wilton's Music Hall in Tower Hamlets and The Middlesex, in Drury Lane, otherwise known as the Old Mo.

- A brief interlude at an Old Time Victorian style Music Hall, from an old live recording: Victorian songs with audience participation and banter. The venue is in London (at the Players Theatre I think) and the style pre-dates the BBC's "Good Old Days" - which probably based it on these earlier versions. The artistes at these shows included many younger players who later became well known. The songs (in playing order are: "Covent Garden In The Morning"; "Oh! The Fairies"; "She Was Poor, But She Was Honest"; "If It Wasn't For The 'Ouses Inbetween"; and "The Honeysuckle And The Bee".
