A humorous play is a type of theatrical performance that is designed to make the audience laugh. The two most common types of humorous plays are FARCE and COMEDY. A FARCE is a type of play that relies on physical humor, slapstick, and exaggerated situations to create comedic effect. A COMEDY is a type of play that relies on witty dialogue, satire, and clever wordplay to create comedic effect. Both FARCE and COMEDY can be used to create humorous plays.
