The original meaning of burlesque included this kind of entertainment. Later, the term was used to cover for less savory (or maybe more savory, depending on who was talking) shows done indoors.

I think the old low comedy, Roger Royster Doyster (sp?) is in the first episode of Michael Wood’s “Shakespeare”.

I learned that that play was titled RALPH ROISTER DOISTER and there was a Brit T.V. show, a while back, that talked about that play and recreated it with teen aged boys, as it had been originally done. I saw it on PBS.
