Comedy

Comedy is a genre of literature, film, and other artistic expressions that aims to entertain and amuse its audience through humor. It often involves exaggerated situations, playful dialogues, and characters that find themselves in amusing predicaments.

Typically characterized by its light-hearted tone, comedy may address serious subjects but does so in a way that encourages laughter rather than discomfort. Common forms of comedy include stand-up routines, comedic films, sitcoms, and theatrical plays.

The intent behind comedy can vary; it may seek to simply entertain, critique social norms, or provoke thought through satire. Overall, the central goal of comedy is to evoke laughter and provide an enjoyable experience for the audience.
