If you are looking for a fun night of laughter, you can’t go wrong with a comedy show. There are different types of comedy and not everyone finds each one to be funny. Before you book tickets, you should know what to expect from the performance.

Types of comedy shows

• Stand-up: Probably the most popular comedy shows you will see advertised, a stand-up comic is usually a solo act telling jokes based on stories and observations. Sometimes they will engage with the audience.
• Sketch comedy: This type of comedy show has actors playing out a series of short scenes or sketches, typically around a specific theme.
• Improv: In improv, a group of performers will create sketches and funny scenarios on the spot with no previous knowledge or practice of the sketch.
• Roast shows: These shows are normally surrounding a celebrity or public figure who will be the guest of honor and butt of all the jokes. A group of comedians will take turns insulting the person, all in good humor.
• Musical comedy: If you love musicals and comedy sketches, this may be the ideal combination for you. Musical comedy shows may feature original music and lyrics or parodies of existing songs.
