Comedian
A comedian, also known as a comic or funny man, was someone who can make people laugh, either as a professional or an amateur. 

Moe Howard was a comic actor, that made up a troupe called The Three Stooges, who performed in films on Earth during the early to mid-20th century. () 

Professional comedians were often found warming-up the audience for the main act, or were the main acts themselves in comedy clubs. Charnock's Comedy Cabaret was one such example. ()

In 2375, Vic Fontaine was looking for an opening act for his lounge. Rom attempted to apply for the position as a singer, but after hearing Rom's singing talent, Vic noted that what he was really looking for was a comedian. He added that having two singers on the same bill was a one-way ticket to deadsville. ()
