Comedy

Comedy is a genre of literature, film, and performing arts that aims to entertain and amuse the audience through humor. It often involves exaggeration, absurdity, and wit, and typically features scenarios that depict the incongruity of situations, characters, or events. Comedic works often use techniques such as satire, parody, and irony to provoke laughter and convey commentary on social norms, relationships, and human behavior.

In theater and film, comedy can take various forms, including romantic comedy, slapstick, and stand-up, each with unique styles and approaches to humor. The essence of comedy lies in its ability to explore the lighter side of life, often highlighting the folly of human nature while promoting joy and levity.
