Live sketch comedy

Live sketch comedy is a theatrical performance where comedians perform short, humorous scenes or vignettes in real-time, often with a set of recurring characters or themes. These sketches are typically improvisational or scripted and are performed without prior recording or playback, allowing for spontaneity and audience interaction. The format relies on quick wit, timing, and creativity to entertain, often reflected in shows like “Saturday Night Live” or “Comedy Bang! Bang!” It emphasizes immediacy and real-time humor, creating a dynamic and engaging experience for both performers and viewers.
