Comedy

Comedy is a genre of literature, film, and performance that aims to entertain and amuse an audience, often through humor. It typically involves exaggeration, absurdity, and the playful exploration of human behavior and social norms. Comedy often employs devices such as wit, satire, irony, and farce to provoke laughter and enjoyment. It can take various forms, including stand-up, sketches, sitcoms, and comedic films, each with unique styles and techniques. Central to comedy is a conflict or situation that provides the basis for humor, often resolving in a light-hearted or optimistic manner. The purpose of comedy transcends mere entertainment; it can also serve to critique society, offer insight into human nature, and foster connection through shared laughter.
