| What is Comedy? Merriam-Webster's Definition is 1. A light amusing play with a happy ending. 2. A literary work treating a comic theme or written in a comic style. 3. Humorous Entertainment. Comedy is a clown's best friend. It is also the main tool we use to entertain our audience. We would not exist as successful entertainers if we didn't use it. Another important tool, no its not the costume, makeup or balloons & face painting etc., It is our audience. For if we have no audience to laugh, our antics are not funny. We use many different tools to aid us in entertaining and creating comedy. Make up is so the audience can see our facial expressions from far away. Costume is so people can recognize us as comedy entertainers. But These 2 elements alone do not create comedy! Comedy is created by exaggerating life situations and relating to the audience what can really happen in these situations, if things are taken too far. Other related articles:
