Explanation
Comedy is a form of entertainment that makes people laugh. It can be a funny movie, a play, a television show, or even jokes told by a comedian. Comedy often shows silly situations, misunderstandings, or humorous stories to create joy. For example, a comedy film makes audiences laugh at characters’ funny actions. In literature or theatre, comedy is different from tragedy; it has a happy or amusing ending. People enjoy comedy because it brings relief from stress and makes life feel lighter.
