Comedy
Comedy is the portrayal of humorous subject matter for the purposes of amusement.
Comedy may use any of a variety of media, ranging from books, magazines, postcards, photos, sculpture, drawing, painting, animation, sound recording, film, video, or video game. In addition, when humorous acts are performed for a live audience, it is still comedy, as the term doesn't only apply to the depiction of the act, but also the act itself. Thus, portrayals such as stand-up comedy and comic theatre are also classified as comedy.
