different types of entertainment
Before discussing the different types of entertainment, let’s first define what entertainment is. Entertainment is any type of activity that passively provides amusement to people, other entertainment activities that involve participation are considered recreation or hobbies.
There are many types of entertainment for particular tastes, for example we have cinema, theater, sports, games, social dance, concert, comedy shows, animations, impressionists, clowns and the list goes on and on.
These forms of entertainment can be divided into groups according to the age and interest of the people being entertained. For example, we have entertainment for children, adults, live action, public and corporate. In this article we will give a brief explanation of some of these forms.
