Entertaiment Articles

The clown at your kid’s birthday party, a stadium rock concert, your friends fighting over the last potato chip—entertainment is anything that amuses or distracts. It usually involves a performance—the word derives from the old French entretenir meaning support or entertain, and it is closely linked to hospitality. We think of theatrical entertainment as shows, visual entertainment as the stuff you like to look at, and audio entertainment as mostly music. But the list could go on and on.
