Clown

  Clowns(小丑)also make people laugh.They often act alone or as a pair and make a different kind of fun.Clowns often don't use any words at all.It is their clothes, make-up and the way they walk that makes people laugh.Some people think clowns are only funny for children.Actually they can help people forget their problems, at least for a short moment.

  Another type of people whose job is to make people laugh are comedians(喜剧演员).They often work alone or as a pair.Unlike clowns, comedians' clothes are usually not very strange.Although body language and their face are important in their shows, they do not use the make-up that clowns use.Comedians may act out a situation during their shows.We call that a sketch(短剧),but usually, their shows don't look like comedies(喜剧).What comedians have in common with the players in a comedy is their way of playing with words.Comedians make people laugh, but also think about life.At one moment in a show, you can hear the audience laughing loudly.A few minutes later everybody is quiet, listening and thinking about the comedians' words.

  Typical for China is the crosstalk(相声)show, where a pair of comedians entertains the audience with word play.A crosstalk show has two speakers making many jokes and funny conversations.They may also dress up a little or act out small sketches in front of the laughing audience.Comedians of all times and many countries have a long tradition of this type of comedy.
