Charles Godfrey (born Paul Lacey, 26 April 1854[1] – May 1900), was an English music hall entertainer, described by Henry Chance Newton as "one of the most phenomenally successful artistes ever seen in the British music halls".[2] Another writer described him as "a first-class actor with an outstandingly good baritone voice, plus a highly developed flair for the dramatic."[3]
