 Described as "a repertoire of character and musical sketches, topical hits and local allusions, passing events, songs, immitations, ''bon mots'', and so forth" by Maryna Fraser (1985), it was the 19th century British journalist and author [[Charles du Val]]'s standard one man show. He wrote all his own material, including the music, and the first version of this show was originally written in in the winter of 1865 – 1866. Its  opening night drew little notice, but by the end of the first week the audiences grew large enough for him to exceed his costs and the show went on to several long seasons in London’s West End, even being commanded to appear before the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) and later international tours, where it served him well throughout his life.
-The piece was performed by Du Val all over South Africa during two extended tours in the years 1880-1881 and 1888.
