This is where you can find comical, silly, and cheeky music. Not necessarily all slapstick and all wacky, but music that can also go well with, say, an after-school Sitcom or a "Dramedy", where something more subtle is required. Lifestyle & Light Comedy (e.g. "Desperate Housewives" style) music, as well as some light hearted jazz music (remember "Frasier") will be listed in this area, along with more hysterical, downright silly music like you would expect from "the Benny Hill Show" and other such outlandish, classical comedy.
