Music hall, a genre that flourished primarily in the UK from the Victorian era through the early 20th century, is an amalgamation of popular entertainment forms, including comedy, song, and variety acts. Its essence lies in the communal experience of live performance, often characterized by interactive songs, comedic monologues, and engaging narratives that reflected the societal sentiments of the time. Artists like George Formby, with his comedic timing and signature ukulele sound, and Flanagan & Allen, known for their catchy and heartwarming melodies, epitomized the music hall's ability to entertain and connect with the working-class audience. The genre's influence is notable for its contribution to the development of later comedic and musical forms, maintaining a legacy of wit, melody, and theatrical flair that transcended its original settings in music halls and variety theaters.
