Answer: Vaudeville.
Vaudeville is a genre of theatre that was created in France at the end of the 1700s. However, it developed into a very different form of variety entertainment when it was introduced to North America.
An American performance was made up of separate acts grouped under a common bill. These acts included performances by singers, dancers, comedians, trained animals, magicians, acrobats, jugglers, etc. It was one of the most popular types of entertainment in the US and Canada from the early 1880s to the early 1930s.
