Comedy

Comedy is a genre of literature, film, and performing arts that aims to entertain and amuse an audience through humor. It typically involves exaggerated characters, clever dialogue, and absurd situations, often culminating in happy or humorous resolutions. Comedic works may employ various techniques such as satire, parody, and farce, relying on elements like wit, irony, and incongruity to evoke laughter.

In performance, comedy can manifest in different formats, including stand-up routines, sitcoms, comedic films, and theatrical plays. The primary goal of comedy is to provoke laughter, but it can also serve to critique society, explore human relationships, and express deeper truths about the human experience through a lighter lens.
