comic
Standup stage performer
Comic describes something intended to provoke laughter or amusement: a comic novel, a comic performance.
A comic is a person who performs comedy, or a publication featuring sequential illustrated panels—what longer form becomes a comic book.
The plural comics refers to the newspaper section containing comic strips: I always read the comics first.
Comic overlaps with comical, though comical more often describes things unintentionally funny.
