A comedy show is a live performance or televised program that features comedians who deliver humorous content to entertain an audience. These shows can include stand-up routines, sketches, or improvisational acts, often focusing on everyday life, social issues, or personal experiences. The goal is to provoke laughter and provide a light-hearted escape from daily routines. Comedy shows can vary in format, ranging from short segments on variety shows to full-length performances in theaters. Popular examples include Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show, and stand-up specials on platforms like Netflix. They often showcase both established and emerging comedic talent.
