Comedy type (9)
I believe the answer is:
slapstick
'comedy type' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for slapstick that I've seen before include "Comedy with physical antics" , "Simple comic act" , "Crude form of comedy" , "Unsubtle comedy" , "Boisterous comedy based on actions rather than words" .)
