How to use comedy in a sentence?

1. Comedian Kelly Bachman:

   The response has been very overwhelming, but extremely supportive, especially the support of the stand-up comedy community in New York. I know that other comics have my back, and that feels great.

2. Armando Bo:

   It's one of these cases where the truth is stranger than fiction so I was kind of forced to make it comedy, satire.

3. Chris Kattan:

   Part of what I used to do was physical comedy, but now I can't, it's really sad when somebody says, 'I miss the old Chris.' That sucks to hear.

4. Cynthia Nicoletti:

   What are they doing, a comedy routine ? virginia would have to consent to this, and that seems like a remote possibility given that there's a Democratic legislature in place right now. I doubt that a Republican legislature in Virginia would approve it either.

5. Ken Dodd:

   Comedy should never be over-analysed. It's either funny or it isn't. There's a subtle difference between those who say funny things and those who say things funny.
