What is "physical comedy"?
Physical comedy is a style of humor that relies on visual and bodily actions rather than spoken dialogue. It involves exaggerated movements, funny routines, and humorous physical situations to create laughter. This type of comedy often features characters getting into amusing or absurd situations that result in physical mishaps, such as tripping, falling, or engaging in playful antics. The goal of physical comedy is to entertain and amuse the audience through visual humor and clever use of physicality, emphasizing the comic potential of body movements and interactions.
