table entertainment

English entertainment of the 18th century, only partly musical in character, given by a single performer sitting at a table and telling stories and jokes, giving displays of mimicry, singing songs, and so on. The first table entertainments on record are those of George Alexander Steevens at Dublin in 1752. Dibdin began a series in London in 1789 and continued for 20 years, introducing most of his songs in this way.
