Afterpiece
An afterpiece is a short, usually humorous one-act playlet following the main attraction, the full-length play, and concluding the theatrical evening. This short comedy, farce, or pantomime was a popular theatrical form in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was presented to lighten the five-act tragedy that was commonly performed.
