滑稽剧 refers to a genre of comedic performance, specifically farce or slapstick comedy, where exaggerated actions, absurd situations, and physical humor drive the laughs. It's a more specific term than 喜剧 (general comedy) and is often used for stage performances like Chinese xiangsheng (cross-talk) sketches or classic Western-style farces. You'll encounter it in discussions of theater, film, and traditional Chinese comic opera.
