comedic

/kəˈmidɪk/

If something makes you laugh out loud, it's comedic. If your teacher tells you to save your comedic skills for after school, he wants you to stop being the class clown.

The adjective comedic can describe anything having to do with comedy, including comedic films that leave you roaring with laughter, the comedic timing of your favorite stand-up comedian, or the comedic touches you add to your essay for English class. Comedic is derived from the Greek kōmōidia, "an amusing spectacle."
