Comedian

A comedian, or comic, is an entertainer who amuses an audience by makes them laugh. This might be through jokes or amusing situations, or acting the fool, as in slapstick, or employing prop comedy. A female comedian may be known as a comedienne even though this usage has been deprecated in recent years. A comedian who stands and addresses an audience frankly is called a stand-up comedian.

Since the mid-1980s, a new wave of comedy, called optionally comedy, has been gaining popularity and delighting audiences with its offbeat style. This normally involves more experiential, or observational, exposure to get a laugh. Famous comedians often overstep the mark of what the public perceive as adequate, such as the remarks made by Billy Connolly about the killing of Ken Bigley.Formats of a comedian's showare flexible and often depend on the type of comedy. Some comedians such as Brian Figarol speak about their own day to day lives, while others like Frank Skinner sing humorous songs.
