Mummers were entertainers who took part in performances of a type called mummings. These were said to be comic plays, but there is very little really known about them until well after the Middle Ages. They are said to have been performed in disguise, by groups going from house to house at Christmas and in other places at other times, based on both Christianity and pagan religion, and to have been politically very incorrect.
