In the olden days, comedy often revolved around physical humor, clever wordplay, and satire, with roots in ancient Greek theater where playwrights like Aristophanes used comedic elements to comment on society and politics. The medieval period saw the rise of jesters and minstrels, who entertained with jokes, songs, and slapstick. Commedia dell'arte in the Renaissance introduced stock characters and improvisation, influencing modern theatrical comedy. Overall, comedy served as both entertainment and a reflection of cultural norms and social issues of the time.
