A comic entertainer is someone who performs comedy for an audience. The two most common types of comic entertainers are clowns and comedians. A CLOWN is a performer who typically wears colorful clothing and makeup and entertains with physical comedy, slapstick, and other comedic acts. A COMEDIAN is a performer who typically tells jokes and humorous stories to an audience. Both clowns and comedians use humor to entertain and bring joy to their audiences.
