Comedy duo

A comedy duo is a pair of performers who work together to entertain audiences through humor, often contrasting their personalities or styles to create comedic effects. They typically share the stage or screen, delivering jokes, sketches, or routines that rely on timing, wordplay, and interactions. Famous examples include Abbott and Costello or Laurel and Hardy. The dynamic between the two—whether one plays the straight man and the other the comic or both share comedic roles—enhances their effectiveness, making them a popular format in comedy for their chemistry and quick wit.
